Is it right for tonight?

Patient, deeply emotional drama

Choose it when…

A night when you want to feel the strength of an everyday bond. The dog's routines and loyalty make the relationship affecting without needing a complicated plot.

Before you press play

Loss, grief and prolonged waiting are central to the experience. This is a tearjerker rather than an easy comfort pick, particularly if animal stories affect you strongly.
