Trivia
The medal that the mayor wears on his coat is a National Defense Service medal. It is the oldest service medal that is still being issued.

Goofs
The opening credits show the story is set in 1931, however, there is an anachronism in that the Mayor is wearing a United States National Defense Service medal. These medals were first issued in 1953 by President Eisenhower. The medal is, therefore, incorrect for the time period.

Also, the Mayor is wearing the medal on his right side, whereas it is traditionally & correctly worn on the left side.

Crazy credits
No animals were harmed in the making of this film... only producers.

dog gone BAD

This review is all over the place.

The film is seriously awful. I can't believe that anyone who didn't not the cast or live in the town could find this anything more.

I found it exploitive - it didn't exploit dogs directly but those who may chose to watch this because of the dogs. Who knew you could be more exploitive than Disney? Or have a final worse than the CBC? Maybe you, not me.

The acting was poor with the exception of "The Dog Lady", the quality of the filming was as poor and the dog fights were so unbelievably unrealistic (thankfully so) to make this nothing but turgid and make me nothing but angry.
