Origin[]
Rover is a St. Bernard owned by the boy in the film, Play Safe. Rover grabs his owner before he can get far to the green boxcar . Still wanting to get a hands-on experience, the boy attaches Rover's collar to a nearby tree and then makes his way toward the train and climbs onboard the boxcar at the end. Rover frantically tries to get free from the rope, fully aware of the dangers at hand.
The boy is still not fully awake, and Rover hears another train coming down the tracks. Rover finally manages to break free from his collar, and rushes to the boy's rescue. As the train speedily approaches the boy laying on the tracks, Rover finally manages to outrun the engine. He dips his tail in some red paint and waves it like a flag, hoping to stop the oncoming train, but to no avail as the engine runs into Rover, sending him speeding along the tracks over to his young master and grabs the boy in his teeth, pulling him out of danger just as the train speeds past. Once the train has gone, Rover licks the boy's face to wake him up. He happily hugs his ginormous hound.
