Dog with Big Dreams
The odds on favorite to win the title of world animal Frisbee champion in 1979 was a tiny dog name Toke. Just 14 inches at the shoulders. The smallest world contender ever. But he could jump four times his height.

Farm Business
Larry Nolting was 16, when his grandfather died and left him a tractor. He’s been a farmer ever since. That was half a life ago. This will be his last crop.
Hurricane Christmas
We’ve had so many weather disasters, it’s easy to overlook the good they inspire. 7-thousand people were without homes after floods from Hurricane Floyd sank 30 cities in North Carolina and left its citizens $6 Billion dollars in debt. But they were no longer just a name on a mail box. The hurricane turned strangers into friends.
“These are remarkable and poignant stories that need to be told.”
KEN BURNS
“Those of us who know and work with Bob Dotson stand in awe of his gifts as a writer. Like the work so many viewers have come to love on NBC, this collection of stories captivates and inspires.”
- SAVANNAH GUTHRIE
“Throughout his remarkable career Bob Dotson has searched for the real essence of America – not by interviewing the so-called famous but by seeking out those unnoticed people we pass by every day. Dotson is a national treasure for caring enough to listen.”
- MEREDITH VIERA
