This film is a
prequel to the film Red Dog, a Red Cloud Kelpie of 2011. Michael Carter comes home from work and
his wife Diane reminds him that he promised to take their two boys to a
movie. He has a lot of office work to do
and he wants to get a pizza and watch something on TV? Diane says that isn’t going to
happen!! Theo and Nickolas are
excited to see the movie Red Dog.
Michael is very surprised when he sees that the movie describes the dog he
had as a boy, Blue. He was a red
colored dog but Michael called him Blue.
Michael was eleven years old in 1968 and he went to live with his
Grandpa on a cattle station in the Pilbara region. This area is located in a remote part of Western
Australia. Michael found Blue as a
puppy when he landed in a tree after a storm. His Grandpa gives Michael a motorbike and he begins to
explore the desert with Blue.
The scenery of the
Outback is very rugged and beautiful.
The story line of this film is based on an actual dog that was said to
roam the wild country in this area. He made
strong friendships with the people he met on his travels and he brought people
together with his personality.
Going to live with his Grandpa changed Michael’s life!! His mother was having a rough patch
with instability in her life and she couldn’t provide a home for him. This was the only place left for him to
live. Michael was fortunate to land in a great place
where he grew and matured in many ways. 4* (I really
liked this movie)
