What happens

Air Bud: Golden Receiver (also known as Air Bud 2) is a 1998 sports comedy film directed by Richard Martin. It is the sequel to Air Bud. The film was shot in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. It is also the second Air Bud film to be released theatrically. Outside the United States, the film was often titled Air Bud 2. This film is dedicated in memory of the original Air Bud (Buddy), who died of Synovial sarcoma – a rare form of cancer that affects soft tissue near the joints of the arm, leg, or neck – in 1998, several months before the film's release. Air Bud: Golden Receiver was released by Alliance Releasing in Canada and by Dimension Films in the United States on August 14, 1998. It grossed $10.2 million and received negative reviews.
