An enlightened Dog enchants everyone in old Edinburg aside two infamous villains!!!
7 February 2023
Whatever be Dog's stories I'm in due already hang out with five of those men's best friends, based on true story of little Tessier Bobby at Edinburgh around 1860, reading all reviews here, some arguing that story isn't accurate, however a question remains, what movie portraits the real events totally accuracy? Well hard to find due it needs an adaptation to became it fully engaging in the sight of the audience, by imputing some villains to improve the dramatism.

The Constable John Grey (Thomas Lockyer) has an esteemed Terrier dog whereby together with the little boy Ewan Adams (Oliver Golding) used to go a nearby hill, where the wind blows hard, very akin with whistling ghostly sound, John Grey comes to die soon, buried at Greyfriars's graveyard, Bobby instead to stay at widow's home, he usually sit down at John Grey's gravesite mostly of time and all night long, leaving the spot to catch rats,

Somehow it's backed by the local Minister Lee that used to make harsh criticism addressed to powerful owner of textile mills Duncan Smithie (Sean Pertwee) and also Lord Cecil Johnson maintainer director of foster home, such criticizes over lack of investment of Old City that remains in unhealthy conditions, it turns back against the Dog little Bobby whereof the Minister Lee has a great concern, thus Booby becomes the target of rage from the duo.

After many failed attempts to avoid and keep the little Dog farthest away, the infamous duo find out a loophole in the law, every stray dogs without owner should be sacrificed, here is the real issue, the Bobby's former owner already died, actually he living at Greyfriars John Gray's graveyard, thus he is ownerless Dog and fits in the law of stray dogs, therephore......

The casting is mostly unknown for us aside Christopher Lee that appears just in last section together with Ian Richardson as the Judge, it wasn't a Disney production whatsoever, although has many akin elements that improve the picture as follow, set in Victorian age it displayed the old Edinburgh utterly authentic and all place around as alleys, cobbled streets, ancient textiles mill and graveyard as well, without forget the supporting casting with colorful characters as the Coconut Tam, and good-nature cemetery's keeper among others.

Thanks for reading.
