I love everything about this movie....Loved the cast and wanted to garb sweet Lucky and bring her home....The movie has a bit of everything including family, romance, challenge and Lucky bravely saving the kids from a forest fire. The plot line is great and it is a feel good movie with few negative vibes....Lucky does her best to steal your heart away and has me in tears every time i watch this really great movie again....It is a sweet movie than will make you smile and if you are a sucker for adorable little Border Collies may bring a few tears to your eyes. This movie is a refreshing reminder of what really is important in our daily lives and reminds us how much good is still out there if we just stay focused and upbeat....Yes I recommend it.

I really loved this movie. It's a great family movie.

Trust me, I watched it about a dozen times before I returned it to the library.

Neil turns a border collie in to the animal shelter because the dog had no herder instincts, (note Neil yelled at the dog to try tp get it to obey him). The dog is then adopted by Lisa who needs a herder, and decides to take a chance on the dog she named Lucky. Safe in the assurance of Lisa's love for her, Lucky proves to be a natural born herder. When the local Vet and some children are in danger from a forest fire, the sheriff calls Lisa and her brother Jim (as the closest farm to the fire) to see if they can find the Vet and the kids while he tried to free up a rescue team to send in. Lisa gets the kids jackets out of the Vets SUV and lets Lucky smell them. She sends Lucky into the fire with the order "Lucky, herd" Lucky makes 3 trips into the fire to rescue the 6 people lost in the fire, even though she was burned herself.

It is a great feel good movie.

My advice - watch it with a box of kleenex.

This very entertaining and heartwarming Canadian television film, produced in 2009 and airing here as Family Gathering on the Hallmark Channel is a must see for the whole family. Top Billed Natasha Henstridge (giving her usual exceptional performance) plays Lisa Rayborn who returns home for mother's funeral, having spent the last 20 years in New York. She decides to stay in he country and help with the family farm, along the way adopting an unwanted dog which her father Clay takes an instant disliking to. Her brother Jim on the other hand is delighted to have a natural sheep herder in the family. Good music, great scenery and a fine cast including Harry Hamlin, Lawrence Dane and Anthony Lemke as Lisa's love interest make it all the more enjoyable.
