Synopsis

'Living with a dog' is always happy. It makes me angry at times, but it also makes me sad to cry. The film, a very characteristic work, consists of 11 episodes of days and memories of several forms of affection between man and his dog. There are musicals, animation, comedy and a story that Àçwill touch your heart. The story was selected from hundreds of stories by representative Japanese C.F. directors. A man, CF planer, who thinks that his dog is the best, is depressed because the CF of dog food has been changed from a person who is concerned about it. He has a memory from his youth that when he was a transfer student, a dog was his best friend. Unfortunately, he lost that dog when he was a boy. The story is about a dog, Koro, and his one-sided love affair with a neighbor’s dog. The story is based on the message that the importance of life cannot be replaced by anything and the affection between a dog and man. These days, raising dogs is like a trend. The message in the film makes our hearts weep. The touched mind continues to love and be thankful everyday. This movie is for those who have raised dogs and for those have not. Some magnificent actors and 90 dogs from 50 breeds give amusement to people who love dogs.
