About the Book

Where's Ralphie? is a family screenplay that is 116 pages, and has been around the block... a few times! The name of this screenplay has changed three or four times in all those updates.

When it was titled A Girl and Her Dog, the screenplay was awarded a Kids First! Endorsement by the Coalition for Quality Children's Media (10/2012).

I posted that success on Facebook, and it was optioned by Shadow Cave Pictures LLC / Michelle Mower. Unfortunately, the deal fell apart and the script wasn't produced.

This current version had tremendous help from Stephanie Rogers (https: //write2wow.com) back in 2016. Stephanie took the concept to the next level.

So, filmmakers, take this project and get it out to the public!

Here's the logline:

A single dad discovers his daughter's imaginary friend is real... and he's an invisible, highly trained dog fleeing from the government.

The full synopsis follows:

Gary Smalley, a widower and inventor with two young daughters is worried about Ginger, his 6-year-old.She's had a make-believe friend for a while and bugs Gary to get a dog because Buttercup, the cat, isn't any fun. Clem, Ginger's older sister, is too wrapped up in sports to pay much attention to Ginger.

Diane, Gary's best friend and secret admirer, has a government contract to train dogs for espionage. A special blue formula makes the dogs invisible. The Chief sends special agents Mr. Water and Mr. Blue, to the training facility for an update. The government guys are all agog over the Star-Warsey vault that contains the training course and the HAL 2000 Dog Monitor computer - Gary's creations.

While performing a live test downtown, Seventy-Six, a Jack Russell Terrier and Diane's star pupil, becomes partially visible. Everyone panics: glitches are traceable. Even with the flaw, Seventy-Six completes the mission undetected.

Mr. Blue tells Diane the mission is a success and for her to hand over Seventy-Six; he's needed right away in the government's war against terrorists. Diane is gobsmacked by this bit of news. She trained the dogs for espionage. HAL instructs Seventy-Six to run.

As Gary leaves the patent office, Seventy-Six jumps in the back of his SUV and discovers Ginger's missing doll. Seventy-Six, invisible, jumps on Ginger. She screams up a storm as she's pushed down and licked. When she discovers that he's a real invisible dog, she's thrilled. She names him Ralphie. Gary and Clem thinks Ginger's new dog is make believe.

Mr. Blue and Mr. Water search for Ralphie while Diane is distraught at losing her beloved dog and possibly her government contract.

Gary and Clem finally realize that Ralphie is a real dog, and one of Gary's inventions allows them to see him, if only briefly. Diane asks Gary to help her devise a plan to keep him safe from the government agents.

Mr. Water and Mr. try to capture Ralphie. They break into the Smalley home at night, but he keeps alluding them. Ralphie sneaks out one night to scare the agents away; Ginger sneaks out after him. At the crack of dawn, Gary, Diane and Clem discover Ginger and Ralphie missing -- possibly kidnapped and dognapped. They set out to find and rescue them with the aid of Gary's invention.

It's a happy ending for all. The Chief retires Ralphie and Ginger gets to keep him. Diane is awarded the full contract for her espionage program. Mr. Water shows up with a government contract for two of Gary's inventions.
