What a delightful way to start the week. For all you dog lovers out there. Filmakers Paul and Sandra Fierlinger are receiving glowing reviews for their beautifully animated film about the bond between an elderly bachelor and his german shepherd.
Literary editor of a weekly BBC program called “The Listener”, J.R. Ackerley hardly thought of himself as a dog lover when, in middle age, he came to adopt an Alsatian bitch, Tulip. To his surprise, she turned out to be the love of his life, the ideal companion he had been searching for in vain for years.
MY DOG TULIP is a bittersweet retrospective account of their fourteen-year relationship. In vivid and sometimes startling detail, the film shows Tulips often erratic behavior, canine tastes, and Ackerleys determined efforts to ensure an existence of perfect happiness for Tulip. Here’s a peek at the trailer.
