GEELONG’S newest and cutest movie star is a cheeky and energetic mixed-breed terrier who goes by the name of Squid.<\/p>\n

The two-year-old is the star of newly released Australian independent film Runt, which is based on Craig Silvey’s bestselling novel of the same name.<\/p>\n

The flick follows the story of 11-year-old Annie Shearer and her canine companion, a stray dog called Runt \u2013 played by Squid \u2013 who set out to save the family farm after it comes under threat from drought and another local landowner.<\/p>\n

For young Squid, her movie debut has proven to be the opportunity of a lifetime.<\/p>\n

At just 10 months, Squid was surrendered to Geelong’s Yellow Door Rescue, after three previous failed attempts at finding her a forever home.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Yellow Door director Lisa Davis said Squid came to the rescue as a high-maintenance pup, lacking in training, direction and structure.<\/p>\n

“We could recognise that she\u00a0needed a home that had a job or wanted to put the time into training her,” she said.<\/p>\n

Squid quickly caught the eye of Rebecca Faulkner, a film industry animal trainer and co-founder of We Do Animals.<\/p>\n

“We couldn’t have dreamt up Bec’s application, and where she ended up, if we tried,” Ms Davis said.<\/p>\n

“We’re so thrilled for her, and Bec and for everybody involved in Runt that they found exactly what they were looking for, and we’re so thrilled that we can showcase what a rescue dog can be when put in the right environment.<\/p>\n

“They’re not broken. There’s a lot of people that think rescue dogs must be broken, there’s something wrong with them, but it’s just that they’re in the wrong environment.”<\/p>\n

Ms Faulkner said Squid was now thriving.<\/p>\n

“She’s such a feisty little terrier. She’s also incredibly intelligent. She learns things very fast\u2026she’s smarter than me.<\/p>\n

“The way she observes her environment and learns things and learns patterns is so fast. I’ve never seen a dog like it.”<\/p>\n

She said when bringing a new dog into the home, everyone needs to learn how to be with each other \u2013 a process that can take some time \u2013 and advised people to consider if the animal they have their eye on is an appropriate fit for their lifestyle.<\/p>\n

Behaviours like digging holes in the garden and chewing up furniture which are often viewed a “problematic” can often be a sign that dogs aren’t quite the right fit for a family’s lifestyle, she said.<\/p>\n

Just like lifestyle compatibility considerations are made with choosing partners and friends, Ms Faulkner said similar considerations also need to be made when adopting a dog or other rescue animals.<\/p>\n

Squid is now firmly part of Ms Faulkner’s family, and further movie roles may well be on the cards.<\/p>\n

“She’s going to go on to do really great things,” Ms Faulkner said.<\/p>\n

Runt is now screening throughout the school holidays at Geelong Village Cinema, the Pivotonian Cinema and Waurn Pond’s Reading Cinema.<\/p>\n

Like many rescues, Yellow Door \u2013 which launched in April last year \u2013 is eager to connect with community members interested in fostering animals with surrenders remaining at all-time highs.<\/p>\n

“With us and other rescue groups, they’re in home environments, so we really know what they need and can match them [to the right family]. As we have shown, when in the right environment, they are absolutely amazing.”<\/p>\n
