LUCKY DOG

What an adorable short film. I love the way that this pup adapts to all of the residents at the home who call him by a different name, one that their favorite dog was called years ago.

The storyline of this short animated film follows a dog who lives at a senior care facility and works as an emotional support dog for the residents there.

This 2D animated film is simply made and has a poignant storyline. I'm to going to rave about the animation - it's serviceable and entirely watchable, but isn't going to win any awards. It doesn't matter because the storyline of this film is the true winner here. Anyone who has loved a dog will relate to this as our pup here spends his day visiting the various residents and providing comfort for them as if she was their long lost "best friend." The narrator is uncredited, but I would like to point out that his voice is definitely toned down and yet, at the same time, works for this sweet working dog. The writer/ director, Donna W. Guthrie, definitely has a handle on older people and their needs - especially as it comes to needing a furry friend.

The film's message is that "man's best friend doesn't abandon you, even in the sunset years of your life."

I give Lucky Dog 3.5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 8 to 12, plus adults. Reviewed by Julie S., KIDS FIRST!

A dog lives a lucky life in a retirement home with friends who know and remember him in different ways.
