Red Dog: True Blue

When eleven-year-old Mick is sent to spend the summer at his grandfather's remote cattle station in Western Australia, he finds himself far from the comforts of home and thrust into a rugged landscape full of wide skies, dusty roads, and hard-working locals. Lonely and out of place, Mick's world is transformed the moment he discovers a scrappy, one-of-a-kind dog — fearless, clever, and utterly loyal. Together they form an instant bond, and the dog’s mischievous spirit helps Mick find his feet in a place that at first seems harsh and unforgiving.

As the pair explore the outback, they share small adventures and big lessons about family, courage, and belonging. The dog’s unwavering companionship teaches Mick how to stand up for himself and to appreciate the simple joys of life on the station. Warm, humorous, and heartfelt, this coming-of-age tale celebrates friendship and the timeless connection between a boy and his dog, leaving a lasting impression of how a single animal can change a life forever.
