Once Upon a Time, There Lived a Dog
Directed by Eduard Nazarov
Produced by Soyuzmultfilm
A charming folk-tale animation about an aging dog's redemption through an unlikely alliance with a former enemy, suffused with warmth, humor, and the gentle wisdom of traditional storytelling.
Based on the Ukrainian folktale, the old dog of a village family is not as keen as he once was, and is sent away after he fails to guard their house during a robbery. In the woods, he meets the wolf he protected his masters against long ago, who decides to pay a favor to get his old enemy's rightful place back in the doghouse.
