Jock of the Bushveld

Based on the classic Jock of the Bushveld, this heart-warming program follows a young man living in the wilds of Africa. When news of the Eastern Transvaal gold rush hits during the late 1800s, he quits his job to seek his fortune. Instead, he finds and saves a runt puppy. Named Jock, the dog proves he is clever, courageous and loyal enough to be a good friend. Together they have exciting adventures and meet Rocky (Robert Urich), an American prospector who teaches them how to survive in the wild. Approved by Kid's First. (official distributor synopsis)
