Reviewing Movies

The "Ah Shucks" factor here overwhelms. A boy and his dog become
marooned in some of the wildest territory on Canada's West Coast.
Trained by his father in the arts of wilderness survival the two endure
for over a month while traversing some of the most forbidding terrain on
earth. Whenever the boy gets discouraged the dog nuzzles up to him and
provides warmth and comfort.

While crossing a deep canyon on a moss-covered log the boy is rescued
but the dog falls miraculously missing a rock pile below. At the then
cost of $200,000/week the search for the dog is continued for three
weeks without success. The tear-jerker ending sees the dog against all
odds having traversed hundreds of miles of terrain find its way home to
its master's island home. As the title suggests this is all about the
dog, the boy Angus being supporting cast; the adults props.

The story may have a happy ending but alas shortly after the movie
opened its director died of leukemia.
