Julie (8) is a little old to still believe in fairies, but that hasn’t stopped her yet. Over dinner, Julie’s parents reveal that they’re planning to have Harry put down the next day – he’s an old dog dealing with a lot of physical discomfort. Determined to save Harry, Julie heads into the woods looking for a fairy to take advantage of its healing properties. She finds a baby bird named Flappy and takes it home with her, but they get caught in a storm along the way, leading to Flappy’s wing being broken. Julie attempts to reveal the fairy to her parents, only to realize Flappy is really just a bird. After seeing how she’s been acting, Julie’s parents give her a say in what happens to Harry, forcing Julie to acknowledge the harm she has caused to Flappy and the harm she would be causing to Harry should she allow him to go on in his present state.
