Ohhh poor granny when she realises she's lost her amazing, super loyal dog. He fought so hard to her safe, even knowing it's inevitable, but gave in when it was his turn, not hers. Glad it showed Death throwing sticks for him afterwards.
"Therefore, send not to know for whom the bell tolls - it tolls for thee". What a wonderful animation. No, they don't live nearly as long as we do, but they pack a lot of life and love into the time they are given Mark
These are wonderful words, full of consolation and wise comfort Mark. "it tolls for thee" lost my beloved pet animal recently and agree, not nearly as long (and often painful) as we, but pack a lot o life & love before moving to that beautiful place where there's no pain, no fear..
Absolutely loved the fact that for the majority of the short film we as the audience believe the lady is going to pass and the twist hits when in actuality it is the one who wanted to protect her and could smell it first! The Dog!
I have seen so many of my furry friends cross rainbow bridge and if Death is as gentle and compassionate as portrayed I will be looking forward to him collecting me and taking me over that bridge to all my babies past and present. I bawled my eyes out! 😂😂😂
What you just said made me shed some tears. I have had to bury so many of my buddies since I was a child. I have never gotten used to the pain of the loss. I hope I never do. I have met people that have no care one way or the other, and I do not want to become that.
Thank you you just made me cry.. This was beautiful I took care of so many animals through my life.. I lost just as many.. I'm hoping when it is my turn.. I will get to see all of the dogs and cats I lost three years..
It just goes to show that as scary as death may seem, it's actually quite peaceful in the end. It's actually life that holds all the pain and sorrow. It's life that we should fear.
We know what life holds, it holds pain and suffering but it also holds happiness and joy, it's what we experience, it's what we know. What most people fear about death is how unknown it is: "What's next?", "Is there something?", "Is there nothing?" no one really knows the answers to these questions. I'm not criticizing you, I'm just saying that it is more nuanced than just: "people should fear one over the other."
What a superb little gem this is. The characters, the backgrounds, the glorious music "Autumn Leaves", and the story. Poor pooch, trying so hard to save his mistress, even offering up poor Kitty, the heavy sighs . . . It all touched my heart. Thank you. 💙
I agree, their loyalty isn’t because we feed them, it’s because they have a kinship with us that transcends normal behavior. Famous bunker sticker in the States hit the nail on the head, “the more people I meet, the more I love my dog.
Dogs have been with humanity for nearly 40'000 years ago. The next nearest animal that has been with is is the sheep. Its been with us for 10'000 years. Less time then both agriculture and human civiluzation (12'000 years) Aside of ourselves and fire, dogs are what has been with humanity the longest. They have been with us 3-4 times longer then we've built farms, towns or cities. Dogs are humanities longest, closest and best animal companion
Wow! I hadn't checked this site in quite a while. I'm quite literally crying over all the beautiful comments about other people crying. Thank you everyone for such wonderful comments. I'm so moved that it touched you. -- Geoff Bailey
OK.....I'm crying like a baby now. I think of the wonderful animal companions that I have been blessed with and then the terrible pain and emptiness when they move on.....Like I said....crying my heart out.
Oh darn! How sad!!! Did he give his life for her? In that moment when death told the dog something... maybe a deal? "Your life for hers..." And the dog said "yes."
This was so wonderful. I had some idea on what it was gonna be about, but I watched it anyway and I’m crying as I type this….. death of any kind saddens me to the core!!!❤😂
That is the saddest and sweetest thing I've ever seen. The music was gorgeous, as was the animation.
Autumn Leaves. The perfect tune for this story.
Ohhh poor granny when she realises she's lost her amazing, super loyal dog. He fought so hard to her safe, even knowing it's inevitable, but gave in when it was his turn, not hers. Glad it showed Death throwing sticks for him afterwards.
That wasn't a stick. It was one of Death's bones.
There is a superstition that animals can give their lives for the life of their owner
Older women are not necessarily grannies. If she has no children or grandchildren, she is not a grandmother. Just an older woman.
I couldn't see it, youtube had a video suggestion blocking it.
@@КатяКатерина-м2ш это правда.
This illustrates very well how it is naturally easier to worry more about others then it is ourselves.
That's what I got out of it too ❤
I've always been that way. Say or do what you want with me, but you mess with my loved ones and😠
The moment u realize that death isn't there for the lady but the dog... :(
I agree. It's kinda sad, so also nice about how caring death is.
😭
Better the human huh?
Learning to never read the comments before finishing the video
@@killasic Yes! Dogs are better than humans.

I love that the body of the dog was knitting. Such a clever bit.
And here I’m thinking that maybe she can knit a new puppy for herself. I know…I’m bad, I’ll see my way out now.
Me, too
She knitted him to life...😢
****the dog is made of yarn. 🤦♂️ You had me rewatching the end to see if the pup had knitting needles in his paws.
When the dog offers up the cat. 😂
Well done story telling and art. Sad, sweet, and humorous. Lovely 🌹
Here's my Toast: to the surprises of Life, the reliability of Death...and the loyalty of pets! Cheers!
Cheers mate!
Cheers!
RIP Jack. You will always be in my thoughts and live forever in my heart. Christmas won't be the same without our big teddybear.
Dear LORD I hear ya, I lostine this year too the first Christmas without him 😞
Absolutely loved the fact that for the majority of the short film we as the audience believe the lady is going to pass and the twist hits when in actuality it is the one who wanted to protect her and could smell it first! The Dog!
Hi
That last howl was heartbreaking
I have seen so many of my furry friends cross rainbow bridge and if Death is as gentle and compassionate as portrayed I will be looking forward to him collecting me and taking me over that bridge to all my babies past and present. I bawled my eyes out! 😂😂😂
I'm with you on this.
What you just said made me shed some tears. I have had to bury so many of my buddies since I was a child. I have never gotten used to the pain of the loss. I hope I never do. I have met people that have no care one way or the other, and I do not want to become that.
This. Is so sad , I really hope we will see them again 😢
What you said resonates so powerfully. Never get used to our pets dying... And when it comes to my turn, I want to go where they went.
"Heaven is the place where all the dogs you've ever loved run out to greet you." I really want to believe this... 🙂
" You must be the tallest girl in your troop!"
XD LOL
And the thinnest.
The last time he looks back to glance his house… 😭
That was one last pee.
😓😢😭😭😭😭
So heartbreakingly sad.
Extremely well done.
Thank you you just made me cry.. This was beautiful I took care of so many animals through my life.. I lost just as many.. I'm hoping when it is my turn.. I will get to see all of the dogs and cats I lost three years..

Life wouldn’t exist without death. That’s what makes it beautiful and priceless.
Life is suffering … that’s why babies are born screaming.
You think death is peaceful because you saw it in an animation. Perhaps a rethink is in order.
My goodness me, very true words ❤
I was just getting over the death of my 2 dogs and my wife 3 months later and now this 😢😢😢😢😢 My fragile heart broken 💔 again. Thanks.
I don't usually cry after these stories, but who wouldn't? Beautifully told. And heart-rending.
Wow… I’m crying inside… The faithful loving Dog thought it came for its Master, when indeed it had come for Him…😓😓😓
So beautiful--I put my arms around my dog and tears fell 😢
What a superb little gem this is. The characters, the backgrounds, the glorious music "Autumn Leaves", and the story. Poor pooch, trying so hard to save his mistress, even offering up poor Kitty, the heavy sighs . . . It all touched my heart. Thank you. 💙
Just Beautiful. I have a 9 Years Bassset Hound. The art and sensibility in this movie is amazing. Thanks.
I loved the cats. In the Discworld series, Death is very fond of cats.
Beautiful, haunting and heartbreaking. Well done!!!
Curious what Death was whispering to the dog. That got me.
Having just lost my pup a few months ago, this made me sad.
Please accept my deepest condolences 😢
Hope you see this... search for Rainbow Bridge, about a place where pets go to await their owners' passing.
I just lost my pet betta fish not long ago.
I got to give this dog props he's coming up with all sorts of plans 😂
Such a beautiful creation, very thoughtfully written and executed, I feel every single emotion with the dog
Death smiles upon us. So when he arrives, smile back.
We don't deserve such loyalty and love. ❤️

The type of animation used is truly beautiful. What a beautiful tale. ❤❤❤❤❤

My little doggy Hope to see him again one day. ❤
Ugh! Crying now - one of my biggest fears… they live so little bringing so much happiness 🤍
Best short film I've seen in years! Bravo!
this was so sweet, I cried. Thank you for posting 💝💔
tellement triste, merci de l’avoir partager bonjour à tous
No one is going to talk about, “here! Take the cat instead!”…?
This made me cry animation was wonderful and the music really added to the ambiance.
This was a very lovely short. Sad, but lovely.
Wow, how beautifully sad. So many emotions came up whilst watching. Well done.
Adding "Autumn Leaves" as the music was a masterstroke!
Such a sweet story told nicely.
OK.....I'm crying like a baby now. I think of the wonderful animal companions that I have been blessed with and then the terrible pain and emptiness when they move on.....Like I said....crying my heart out.
That is so sad I am crying. ..had to send off so many of my faithful 4-legged friends over the years.
Hope you see this... search for Rainbow Bridge, about a place where pets go to await their owners' passing.
Oh darn! How sad!!! Did he give his life for her? In that moment when death told the dog something... maybe a deal? "Your life for hers..." And the dog said "yes."
I think so, yes, no doubt about it !
Beautifully rendered. The closing shot had the gorgeous look of an 18th century landscape painting.
That is a comfort to anyone who has lost a dear pet
If I saw the Grim Reaper at my front door, I would just hug him. The Lord knows that he needs it far more than I would when I do see him.
When you look at all the junk which gets a jillion views and this treasure a fraction, it's as sad as that little basset hound
Just past the anniversary of one of my pups and having lost the other one this year. This is beautiful but hard to watch.
Hope you see this... search for Rainbow Bridge, about a place where pets go to await their owners' passing.
Um, this made me cry, when the dog walks out with him and leaves the house for the last time. I don’t know why it needed to hit hard. It was animated.
Poignant and sweet. Beautifully executed.
I have just lost my dog, this broke my heart again 😢 I can only hope he is this happy wherever he is 😭
Count on it 💗
😭😭😭😭😭😭
Wow!!!! Sad. I love my rescue beagles. Every one that has died is a heartbreaking loss. Still not over it.
Wow. Geoff Bailey. What can I say? That was incredible on all layers.
Hey no fair putting up this video. You made me cry over my dog who has been gone for six years now. 😭😭😭😭
This was so wonderful. I had some idea on what it was gonna be about, but I watched it anyway and I’m crying as I type this….. death of any kind saddens me to the core!!!❤😂
AAWWW. Those that made this did a fantastic job.
Слезы на глазах 😢. Когда понимаешь, что близкие уходят.
Extremely moving film. Thank you.
The ultimate act of love!
Bittersweet ending. Not always what we expect.
I can't even watch the full thing. I'm already crying. 😅
Watch the whole film & read the great comments.
주인 대신 따라가는 멍뭉이.. 마지막 인사가 슬퍼요..❤️😭❤️
Ohmygosh 💔 😢 not how I wanted to end my day. This was Beautifully done.
I feel bad that the last interaction the lady had with her dog was to scold him for trying to protect her
Brought tears to my eyes....:)
Dieser Film hat mich sehr berührt und traurig gemacht. Ich habe 2 Hunde und es graut mir, wenn dieser Tag kommt.
One day I will get to see my furry children who have crossed beyond the Rainbow Bridge. It will be a joyous day when it happens.
Heartbreakingly sad. Beautiful animation
So the dog tried to trade the cat 🐈 😂 but the cat was like nope 👎 so he tried the smaller cat 😅😂
Ugh. Did I need to cry today?
The dog was knitted. She gave it life and death took it.
I ultimately interpreted it as “death will treat me better than life.”
A rather pessimistic interpretation, but you are entitled to it.
If one thinks life is unexpected, wait until one meets death.
Beautifully crafted story. Thank you
Heart shocked story.came to tears my eye coz my puppy passed away 3 months ago.still i feel that it's difficult to live without it.
That was well done, but it broke my heart since I just had to say goodbye to my beloved dog 2 1/2 weeks ago.
The dog is a natural negotiator 😂 He tried to exchange the lady's life for the cat's.
We all get that knock on the door eventually, the secret is to be out when Death calls.
Nah. Secret is to be ready for the call, no loose ends, no unfinished business, and always answer the door promptly. Makes the journey more bearable.
Deeper than most may think😮! Loved it!!
I'm not crying... I'm just sweating profusely out of my eyeballs.
Death is so sad. Soft clouds for the doggie😢
I do not think we fear death; I think we fear not living.
Sad and beautiful at the same time. If that makes sense. Such a unique take on one of the oldest universal stories we have.
Dogs are so adorable
Amazing but shouldn’t have watched this without waterproof mascara!!! A lot of humour too (offering the cats and the pee on the mailbox) ❤❤
I cannot stop crying....but dog is happy now
Beautifully done...
I had not planned on crying tonight, so thanks a lot.
Death and the dog was very happy that is the saddest and sweetest thing I've ever seen. wow...
I didn't understand the fight with the cat, but this was really nice.
Trying to pffer the big cat, who ... objected 😅. Then he offered the small cat 😢
Autumn Leaves. One of the most beautiful songs ever.
This thoughtful animation, it seems to me, to be about the beauty that life contains.
Really moving. Thank you. Very well made...
What a beautiful experience, thank you.
This was so sad and sweet at the same time 😢
They say that if a pet died, it took upon itself the death of someone in the household...
Вот на что способны наши братья меньшие! Респект за фильм😢😢❤❤Не ценим наших питомцев при жизни, а они уходят, спасая нас❤❤❤
