Between learning to help out on the farm and adjusting to the slower pace of life in rural Ireland, the boy's new life is not always easy for him, especially after he becomes friends with a girl whose family has long held a grudge against his grandfather. But the boy learns important lessons about love, loyalty, and self-discipline when he begins working with grandfather's sheepdogs. Filmed on location in the Isle of Man, Owd Bob also stars Colm Meaney and Dylan Provencher. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi
