Now a major motion picture, the spellbinding story of a young boy and
his dog adventuring through the outback.
When a family tragedy means Mick is sent to the outback to live with his
Granpa, it looks as if he has a lonely life ahead of him. The cattle
station is a tough place for a child, where nature is brutal and the men
must work hard in the heat and dust. However, after a cyclone hits,
things change for Mick. Exploring the floodwaters, he finds a lost puppy
covered in mud and half-drowned. Mick and his dog immediately become
inseparable as they take on the adventures offered by their unusual
home, and the business of growing up, together.
In this charming prequel to the much-loved Red Dog, Louis de Bernieres
tells the moving story of a young boy and his Granpa, and the
charismatic and entertaining dog who so many fans hold close to their
hearts.
