Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaBear, the dog playing Ruby, is an actual rescue dog that was saved from a shelter just in time.
- GoofsWhen trooper Daniel O'Neil pursues a speeding car and when he drives to the search and rescue site, he allows Ruby to ride in the front passenger seat. K9 officers are never transported in the front seat. They always ride in the canine insert or cage inside the vehicle. If the K9 police vehicle is in an accident, it is safer for responding emergency personnel to treat the handler if the dog is contained in a canine cage, as the dog will protect the handler.
- Quotes
Matt Zarrella: We found the body. We got a tip from a neighbor. Buried under the deck, covered in three inches of cement. It's a miracle Ruby even caught the scent. You made the wrong call. You should have trusted your K9.
Featured review
It's formulaic and predictable, but this film touches the heart and deals with two moral stories-- that of a dyslexic, hyperactive Trooper who wants to be in the K9 unit... and a shelter dog he's challenged to work with. If you like this kind of film, you won't have a dry eye by the end of the movie.
The acting is good from all parties. Directing is fine, music fits the story, and it's realistic enough to not suspend belief. There are lots of cliches here... but also some very good lessons to learn, for children and adults alike.
Overall a very enjoyable movie to watch, and good points to be noted, especially in post-viewing discussions with children. I would recommend it for anyone who enjoys a good, basic family-oriented film.
