Saw movie Red Dog tonight

[HK1837]

Thats based on the book Red Dog about the dog in WA right? Great book, how was the movie?

I think it is based upon the book, but the book is based upon a real dog.

Yeah, there is a statue of him in Karathra I think. He was a cool dog thats for sure. I remember a bit about a couple of girls who took him to Perth for a holiday and lost him. They though they would get linched when they got back home for losing him. However Red dog beat them home in a truck. I think it was about 2000km back to where they came from, Newman I think.
I read it to Josh when he was about 3, but I have lost the book and ordered a new one last week in Dubbo, funnily enough.
