Red Dog (Kipling short story) Red Dog (Kipling short story) "Red Dog" is a Mowgli story by Rudyard Kipling. Written at Kipling's home in Brattleboro, Vermont between February and March 1895, it was first published as "Good Hunting: A Story of the Jungle" in "The Pall Mall Gazette" for July 29 and 30 1895 and "McClure's Magazine" for August 1895 before appearing under its definitive title as the 7th and penultimate story in "The Second Jungle Book" later the same year. It was also the penultimate Mowgli story to be written. Mowgli the feral child is about 16 years old and living contentedly with his
The Jungle Book (1994 film) for its performances, action, and visuals, but it was also chided for not staying true to Kipling's work, even though his name remains in the title. Noted critic Roger Ebert of "The Chicago Sun-Times" shared this sentiment. He said the film "has so little connection to Rudyard Kipling or his classic book that the title is beyond explanation." He goes on to say that it is a good film, awarding it three stars out of four, but it does not fit its target audience; some "scenes are unsuitable for small children, and the 'PG' rating is laughable."
