ABOUT REX
How a half-pedigree, half-street dog from a zinc yaad became Jamaica's most-watched comedy character — and took di Caribbean by storm.
FROM THE ZINC YARD TO THE WORLD
Rex Di Country Mungrel born from one simple idea: what if di storytelling yuh grow up on — di yaad chat, di one-liner ovah di fence, di whole drama of a country lane — get told properly? Not as a skit dat done inna thirty seconds, but as a real series, wid real characters yuh follow week to week.
Di result is a dog dat's half Shih Tzu pedigree from Norbrook on him mother side, half Kingston street mungrel on him father side. A true country mungrel wid a heart bigger dan uptown.
