Celebrated Australian author Craig Silvey's novel RUNT, is about to hit the big screen in New Zealand.
The heart-warming family movie centres on Runt; a rascally, very speedy, stray dog with remarkable abilities and some paralysing quirks. He's befriended by young Annie Shearer and together they try to save the family farm.
Craig Silvey adapted his novel for the screen and also produced RUNT. He joined Mihi to talk about working with animals and children, and how he hopes the movie will spread a little joy.
