01 // Synopsis
It's a dog story__
a dog that joined a race
and outpaced death
to find a new life.
Yes, it’s a dog story. So it's understandable if you roll your eyes and shrug your shoulders. If you react, as you might, to the images that run across your mind, bounding and unleashed. You know the images: Puppies frolicking in grass fields or retrievers leaping into summer lakes or collies chasing after frisbees in the park.

This is so much more.



02 // The Film
Yes, it's a dog story

But this story doesn't fit those pictures, unless the settings you imagine are the dense and swallowing Amazon jungle or the dusty streets of Quito, Ecuador, or a village 300 miles
south of the Arctic Circle.

As with many stories about animals and humans, it's informed by a bond -- ancient as the place where it first formed, and new as the ways it was preserved and protected.
