Dancer and the Dame

Biblical/moral worldview, an unlikely bond forms between the protagonist and his canine partner; an antagonist guilty of greed and deception is brought to justice, the protagonist becomes less cynical and more caring, a prayer is spoken in which pride is confessed and urgent help is requested, and an act of near self-sacrifice happens during the climax; no foul language, but a b-word spoken during Dancer’s favorite television show is barely bleeped out; Princess twice has a flashback in which her former partner is shot to death with a machine gun (no blood is shown, but holes are seen in his chest), a bunch of characters get knocked out with punches or objects such as a pan (one is said to have been sent to a hospital after being rendered unconscious), Skanz shoots someone in the foot, Princess pounces on and bites at bad guys, a car explodes when rigged with a bomb, a character is wounded by gun shots; no sexual content; no nudity; no alcohol use; no smoking or drug use; and, Dancer often releases his temper by making sarcastic wisecracks, he extorts information from someone, he lies when questioned by an FBI agent, Skanz’s scheme involves importing counterfeit money, name-calling such as "pinhead" and "tool" is heard.
