a Huge Australian Box Office Success Story
Oddball
The story of Allan “Swampy” Marsh and his Maremma dog Oddball. Swampy convinced local authorities to allow Oddball to protect a colony of Little Penguins on Middle Island from wild cats and dogs. Oddball succeeds in his campaign and becomes a front runner for Maremma dogs being used to protect other endangered Australian wildlife.
See right for the original photos taken when Producer Steve Kearney first found the project in 2007 – showing special photos of the one and only real life Swampy Marsh and his dog Oddball, who sadly recently passed away at the age of 15.
