Red Dog is a true story.

I was given the book Red Dog many years ago and it is such an awesome story.

While living in central WA I took some time to visit all the places Red trecked around to, including Dampier etc.

I have been waiting for years to see the movie, ever since there was talk of the book being made into a film. Can't wait!

They filmed part of it 10 minutes down the road from me. Sent my email to them for extras for the filming but was a bit late. they had them all by then.

Have to go now to see who I know milling around in the crowd scenes :laugh: It sounds like a good movie.

Some friends from my obedience club who do lots of tricks were invited to the local premier, they did a live show before the movie, it was a surprise for those attending, they said it was fantastic

Fantastic movie - Koko is fantastic, great acting (surprisingly) by the humans, music is great, scenery is wonderfull. I laughed, I cried, I laughed. Well worth seeing! :thumbsup:

Is it appropriate for kids?

I think it depends how old the kids are - there are some sad bits in it but no bloody in your face stuff like you see on the after 8:30pm TV.

I heard someone on the radio say her 10+ yo boys loved it.

I liked it but I don't think I could watch it again because of the sad bits. There were some fun bits too but I kind of wanted all happy endings instead of some happy endings.

I would agree with that assessment - definately some sad bits in it but thats life - the underlying plot is about mentally healthy community, mutual support and acceptance and how the dog got people to be there for eachother. Its pretty cool IMO.
