This is a picture of the dog who inspired the Scruffy character in the screenplay.
Scruffy - the inspiration for? Well - Scruffy!
Scruffy is the leader of the gang of strays that Red used to belong to. They help Red, Rocky and the others to find Doctor Frankenstein’s secret lab.
This Scruffy was a B&B owners dog who led myself and a friend to the pub and back down some very dark Irish country lanes when we visted the Árainn Mhór Island off County Donegal.
Did it all the time apparently! A very useful friend to have given that:
“With no less than six pubs, Arranmore is a pub crawler’s dream. Given that there is no permanent Garda Siochana presence on the island, the pubs are usually lax in adhering to closing times, if at all”
I think being given treats at the pub might have had something to do with it too!
Feel free to post pictures of your pets on the Facebook Friends of Scampenstein page. You can also email them direct.
