About This Film
Eric Khoo's love for dogs and particularly Woofy, his Pomeranian which died in 2018, is a well documented fact, with him stating in an article on 8Days.sg:
“Woofy my soul mate cameoed in all my features,” the director of Mee Pok Man and 12 Storeys tells 8days.sg. via e-mail. “From Be with Me to Ramen Shop [or Ramen Teh], but he didn't arrive on time while we were shooting My Magic, so he didn't appear in that one.”
Thus, as a genuine dog lover, Khoo could not pass a chance to deal with another legendary dog, Captain Hook, and the way it came to meet the co-founder of Animal Lovers League, Cathy Strong.
Synopsis
The film starts with the owner of a car abandoning a little brown dog on the highway, a practice which, as the end titles inform us, is not uncommon at all in Singapore. The animal is lost, does not know where to go and soon starts being thirsty and hungry. His hunger bring him in a fast food but no one seems to want to deal with it, while it is soon revealed that one of its legs is almost completely destroyed. A number of other adventures occur, and finally a ray of hope seems to shine on the brown dog as it reaches a river and manages to quench its thirst. However, the biggest tragedy soon happens…
