Recently orphaned David must move to the Isle of Man to live with his grandfather, Adam, who's a sheep farmer. Both long for the end of the summer, having nothing in common but their love for dogs, notably Adam's precious champion sheepdog Bob. David strikes a friendship with Maggie, the sassy daughter of friendly neighbor Keith Moore, but Adam hates that family on account of an old canine competition-related tragedy. Other neighbors suspect Bob and the Moore's dog of the recent series of nocturnal sheep-kills.
One of the main dog characters, Bob, does not die. However, another dog does die. I came to this site to see if a dog died and someone had answered no, that Bob didn’t die but they let out that there was a dog death. Overall, the movie was good but that part was sad.
