What is this Aussie movie?

[Mark]

Saw this posted elsewhere, and I have no idea what film they're referring to, so thought maybe one of y'all would. Any ideas?

The plot from my hazy memory is that a schoolboy's (could be girl) border collie goes missing and it's all about how he finds it. I think it was set in a small country town. We were shown it at school around 1984/85. The dog to my memory (and the movie, I thought) was called Gypsy. I've searched the Australian database of movies for that time and it doesn't seem to exist. The theme song went a little like, "Gypsy, Gypsy, Gypsy, Gypsy, where has my dog Gypsy gone?" (Repeat adinfinitum). At the end, he gets the dog back.

I came up with a blank on this too. Shame we couldn't have some more detail. Like maybe the name of at least one person who was in it, or some kind of production credit.

It can be the most frustrating experience. I myself am haunted by memories of a movie about pet hamster/guinea pig type things that escape from their cage and go on an adventure. Wish I could remember what it was.

I get false memories of films and TV shows all the time, then realise they were either dreams, or stuff I came up with one day on the train coming home from work.
