Dove Review

Jack’s father and mother are park rangers so Jack has spent his life in the park, but he is bullied by two kids from school every time he goes into town with his dad. His adventures at the park may come to a halt when the town board decides they cannot afford to keep the park open after this year.

When a new camper, Chloe, and her mom come to stay, Jack makes a new friend. Jack’s father tells the pair about his great uncle who was a miner. Jack has heard it several times and not many people actually believe in the legend, but when Chloe, Jack and his dog Ranger discover an old map in the shed, they start to investigate and the search for gold begins.

Most adventures include some type of trouble and this tale is no different. Two robbers—not the most intelligent thieve—try to follow the kids into the woods. As the kids follow the map to the gold mine, Ranger does his part to delay the robbers and get help.

“Bark Ranger” is a fun family adventure that is entertaining with its constant comedic moments. We award this movie the Dove “Family-Approved” Seal for all ages.
