Its a bit of a fun movie. The breed (Kelpie) is quite popular. An interesting story out of the movie is the real life story of the dog that played Red dog who had passed when the movie was made.
The dogs name was Koco and he was just as lively and smart in real life. Theres a doco on this and it shows how 2 dogs auditioned and were going to be used. But they ended up using Koco only.
The actor (Josh Lucas) who played the main role who befriends Red dog developed a bond even though he did not really like dogs. But as a result of the movie they bonded and Red dog (Koco) did not want to leave him. So the owner ended up giving him the dog. A great true story within a true story.
