The name of the dog is one of the reasons why we never got a Dam Busters remake. Peter Jackson was trying for years to make the movie. Even he said it was a no win situation. He was planning to rename the dog Digger. Unfortunately the name of the dog was central to the real life plot and the original movie. He would be accused of whitewashing history if he changed it. If he left it in people would be offended. I really want to see a well done historically accurate remake. The name should be changed but I’m sure that’s the only thing the internet chatter would be about no matter how good the movie is.
