It tells the true story of Gonker, a goofy but beloved dog with Addison's disease who got lost on the Appalachian trail in October 1998. Missing pet is a heart wrenching experience. One you never get over and will for the rest of your life wonder what happened to your fur baby. Did some kind person rescue it and gave it food and a warm bed? Feel more for Mum Ginny Marshall who never got over losing her dog and helped run a search rescue for Gonker till he was found. Rob Lowe is as charismatic as ever.
Could have got a better actor dog and should have shown more bonding and pet play initially to make it more heartbreaking a search later on in the movie.
Some missing dogs and cats have been known to walk a hundred miles to find their way back home.. Best hope is to have your pet micro chipped and start a search a.s.a.p. Vet saved our Cocoa's life when he got hit by a car on the tail some years ago as he went to the KFC burger joint on the high streer by himself, and called us as they got his details on microchip. (We have both cat and dog, and now live in a quieter countryside area).
