Runt
In the Australian town of Upson Downs, shy young girl Annie Shearer strives to fix the world with her adopted stray dog Runt. When the Shearer’s farm is put in danger by a greedy local landlord, the bright and inventive ten-year-old hatches a plan.
Using Runt’s remarkable speed and agility skills, she intends to save her family’s farm by winning the top cash prize at a dog show in London. The only problem: Runt only obeys Annie’s commands when nobody else is watching… She will need to deploy a unique set of her family members’ talents to help Runt conquer London’s prestigious show and save the family farm.
