Wishbone's Dog Days of the West is a 1998 family adventure film that follows the journey of Wishbone, a lovable Jack Russell Terrier who is obsessed with classic literature. The movie transports us back to the Wild West, where Wishbone plays the role of a heroic outlaw named "The Outlaw Sherriff". Along with his trusty sidekicks - Joe Talbot (played by Larry Brantley) and Stumpy (played by Brent Anderson) - Wishbone sets out on an exciting adventure to foil the evil plans of the corrupt business tycoon, Otto Von Meister (played by Charlton Heston).

The movie is set in the late 19th century, amidst the backdrop of a small dusty western town of Oakdale. The story begins with Wishbone narrating the story of Robin Hood, but he is interrupted by the sound of gunfire outside his window. Upon investigation, Wishbone finds that Otto Von Meister and his band of henchmen have arrived in town and are threatening the local shopkeepers to sell their businesses to him. Joe and Stumpy, who run the local newspaper, are covering the story and document the shady tactics of Von Meister.

Wishbone soon finds himself in the middle of the action when he discovers a wanted poster of himself as "The Outlaw Sheriff". With the help of Joe and Stumpy, he realizes that Von Meister has used his image to commit robberies and terrorize the town. The trio sets out to find the real culprit behind the crimes, clear their names, and save the town from falling under Von Meister's control.

The movie is a delightful blend of adventure, humor, and suspense. The storyline is engaging, and the characters are well-crafted, making it enjoyable for both adults and children alike. The canine star of the movie, Soccer the Dog, is incredibly charming and adds an extra element of fun to the movie. He brings Wishbone's character to life seamlessly and is amazing to watch on screen.

The movie also boasts an excellent cast, which includes Larry Brantley, who voices Wishbone, and Brent Anderson as Stumpy.
