Those kind folks at Dendy and Think Tank pulled out all the stops and there were so many of my fellow doggies that turned out on the night, it was pawsome. I might have even fallen in love again but then a true lady doesn’t speak openly of such things in public. Everybody was so nice and all my new four-legged friends smelled great.

Even with all the activities, treats and cuddles, the best part of the night were the moving images up on that big screen. They featured a doggo named Runt, a scruffy fellow who saves the day for the Shearer family and helps thwart the evil doings of the land owner Earl Robert-Barren that ends up bringing life back to their struggling town. Runt was heroic and oh so dreamy and really what lady doesn’t love a bit of the rough?

Once again being outdoors under the stars and watching a film with all my new friends was such a good time. I have to also thank my mum and dad for taking me but especially my mum for packing away so many extra tasty treats. Mum might have even given a few of the treats to my new paramour but that’s all I will say on that subject. Thanks again to all the lovely folk from the Dendy and Think Tank, you know how to put on a party and I can’t wait to do it again!

Runt has already captured the hearts of readers, sweeping major Australian literary awards including the Children’s Book Council of Australia’s Book of the Year for Young Readers, and Book of the Year for Younger Children at the Australian Book Industry Awards. Now, this heartwarming tale makes its way to the big screen, starring Lily LaTorre, Jai Courtney, Celeste Barber, Deborah Mailman, Matt Day, and Jack Thompson.

Set in the picturesque country town of Upson Downs, Runt follows 11-year-old Annie and her adopted stray dog, Runt, as they embark on an incredible journey to save her family’s farm. Their adventures take them from their small Australian town to the World Dog Championships in London in a story filled with kindness, friendship, and the courage to live your truth.
