Paws is an independent 1997 Australian family film that was released on 25 September 1997 in Australia and filmed in Sydney, New South Wales.
The film stars 15-year-old guitarist Nathan Cavaleri who has adventures with PC - a talking Jack Russell Terrier (voiced by comedian Billy Connolly). The dog is computer literate- skills acquired from his former master allowing him to create a computer program that translates his words into English, with Zac subsequently designing a portable version that can be 'concealed' in a bow tie- and the pair must a stop a valuable disk from falling into bad hands.

When an elderly dog owner (Norman Kaye) is kidnapped and killed, it's up to his gifted pooch, PC, to safely deliver a computer disk with clues to his hidden treasure to the teenaged Zac (Nathan Cavaleri). But, Anja, the villainess (Sandy Gore), is soon hot on their tails and the duo must uncover the secret before it's too late! A fun adventure for the whole family, "Paws" also stars Heath Ledger in one of his early roles!
Zac (Nathan Caveleri) is a 14 year old computer genius who can surf the web better than other boys surf waves. PC is a dog with a past. After the evil Anja (Sandy Gore) kills his master, Alex, for the clues to a hidden fortune, PC flees unwittingly into the arms of Zac and his family. Zac, however, has problems of his own. He doesn't like his new stepfather, his little sister drives him crazy, and the girl next door, Samantha, wants him to participate in her bold retelling of A Midsummer Nights Dream. When Zac wires PC with a computer vocal unit, giving the jack russell terrier the ability to speak, the two form an unlikely bond and set about unravelling the mystery of Alex's death. Along the way they are shadowed by Anja who will stop at nothing to beat them to the prize. Billy...

This is the theme that constantly plays throughout the movie. It plays in the intro and credits. I believe it is performed by Mario Millo and is called "Bad Dog."
This is the theme is played when Samantha arrives for the play. It also is included in the play scene itself. I remember loving this music from the movie but I have never found out it's title or the artist that produced it. I have looped it from segments of the movie so you will hear repetitions of voices.
PAWS is a work in progress, we started out in Feb 1997 with the intention to rehome unwanted dogs from their current homes. However, we soon realised the huge amount of abuse, neglect and abandonment of dogs throughout the County and we started to give them shelter and veterinary care... News spread fast and soon we were dealing with cases from Cork and Kerry to Sligo and Donegal... Since that time PAWS, has rescued, vaccinated, neutered and rehomed thousands of dogs and as 70% of these were adults, our neutering programme has prevented millions of unwanted puppies being born and consequently dumped in ditches, dustbins and dog pounds. Sometimes we feel like 'giving up and giving in' but then somebody says a kind word or calls to visit, with a happy, healthy adored pet, which when it orig...

Terrified Eugene
Stutters when he speaks
Crushed under the weight
Of other pupil's hate
Was he out of class
When the boys go past
Oh bullying Eugene
And I'll be passed and seen
No you can't keep him down, he's a Science major
Got a whole set of books for each new ocassion
No you can't keep Eugene down
Eugene centre stage
Grows like him through age
Wheres the bit to go
(?)
No you can't keep him down, he's a Science major
Got a whole set of books for each new ocassion
No you can't keep Eugene down
So don't say no
Say I am waiting
Don't say no
Say I am waiting
I know you're ready for it
No you can't keep him down, he's a Science major
Got a whole set of books for each new ocassion
No you can't keep Eugene
Don't say no
Say I am waiting
I know you're ready for it
