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.
@@user-uj1en2ur3q это правда.
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.
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.
😭
When the dog offers up the cat. 😂
Well done story telling and art. Sad, sweet, and humorous. Lovely 🌹
"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..
Here's my Toast: to the surprises of Life, the reliability of Death...and the loyalty of pets! Cheers!
Cheers mate!
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 ❤
This was horribly sad but beautiful
very true
I love that the body of the dog was knitting. Such a clever bit.
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.
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."
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 ❤
That last howl was heartbreaking
" You must be the tallest girl in your troop!"
XD LOL
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!
So heartbreakingly sad.
Extremely well done.
So beautiful--I put my arms around my dog and tears fell 😢
The last time he looks back to glance his house… 😭
That was one last pee.
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..
Beautiful, haunting and heartbreaking. Well done!!!
Wow… I’m crying inside… The faithful loving Dog thought it came for its Master, when indeed it had come for Him…😓😓😓
I loved the cats. In the Discworld series, Death is very fond of cats.
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.
Just Beautiful. I have a 9 Years Bassset Hound. The art and sensibility in this movie is amazing. Thanks.
Such a sweet story told nicely.
We don't deserve such loyalty and love. ❤️
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.
@@convinceme6676 Amen
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
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!”…?
Ugh! Crying now - one of my biggest fears… they live so little bringing so much happiness 🤍
My little doggy Hope to see him again one day. ❤
Wow, how beautifully sad. So many emotions came up whilst watching. Well done.
This made me cry animation was wonderful and the music really added to the ambiance.
I had not planned on crying tonight, so thanks a lot.
Death smiles upon us. So when he arrives, smile back.
Слезы на глазах 😢. Когда понимаешь, что близкие уходят.
The ultimate act of love!
AAWWW. Those that made this did a fantastic job.
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.
Adding "Autumn Leaves" as the music was a masterstroke!
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
We all get that knock on the door eventually, the secret is to be out when Death calls.
Bittersweet ending. Not always what we expect.
That is so sad I am crying. ..had to send off so many of my faithful 4-legged friends over the years.

Hey no fair putting up this video. You made me cry over my dog who has been gone for six years now. 😭😭😭😭
Heartbreakingly sad. Beautiful animation
Ugh. Did I need to cry today?
Wow. Geoff Bailey. What can I say? That was incredible on all layers.
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 ultimately interpreted it as “death will treat me better than life.”
A rather pessimistic interpretation, but you are entitled to it.
Best short film I've seen in years! Bravo!
Wonderful! Gorgeous dress of death. Great job!
Death is so sad. Soft clouds for the doggie😢
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.
Gratitude! Loved it🌿
I can't even watch the full thing. I'm already crying. 😅
I cannot stop crying....but dog is happy now
Dieser Film hat mich sehr berührt und traurig gemacht. Ich habe 2 Hunde und es graut mir, wenn dieser Tag kommt.
I do not think we fear death; I think we fear not living.
I feel bad that the last interaction the lady had with her dog was to scold him for trying to protect her
Extremely moving film. Thank you.
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.
Had me crying at the end...
Oh, that's adorable all the way.
And I was lured in by the parallel to the "Death and the Lady" poem, but it's nice that they came up with their own story entirely.
But poor lady, she'll probably be utterly heart-broken over the death of her dog.
Unexpected ending. 😢😢😢😢
This was so sad and sweet at the same time 😢
How wonderful this is.
Really moving. Thank you. Very well made...
So sad. I’m sure you listened to the music a thousand times before creating this short masterpiece.
Loved this film and the twist
Well now you done it. Made me cry. 😢🙏❤️
this broke my heart... beautiful animation
So bitter sweet but so lovely ❤️
When its time to go, and your in pain , everybody that you knew has gone or passed on.. Ill be like dude i thought you would never get here 😔.. Very touching animation. It was funny ,the grim reaper ....O thats enough coffee with his hand..
👏 bravo. Beautiful
Lovely. Thank you. Very well done.
At the beginning I was thinking about the possibility of a twist like this, and I was already in tears.
Beautiful.
So deep. Loved it.
Excelente trabajo el final con el paisaje. Extraordinario 😢👏👏👏
That was beautiful.
Not sad at all ,well camouflaged ending, top notch all the way around!
Heartbreaking. 💕
So sad and beautiful!
So sweet!
BAWLED MY EYES!!!😢😢😢😢😢
I wonder if the reaper had told her ☹️
death is so direct and obvious both as a concept and a real happenning, even when we are tempted to contemplate otherwise. he did not need to say anything I imagine.
Well, since she mistook Death for a very tall Girl Scout, I doubt that he did. Now Jackson, the dog? Yes absolutely he was told but not until it was time to leave. I loved how he circled and sat down and tried to talk Death out of it. Really well done.
No, no, and no. I'm crying even though i understand. "Life is full of grief, to exactly the degree we allow ourselves to love other people." -- Orson Scott Card (and pets)
Brilliant 👏👏
I put my last dog to sleep in 2017. This got me. 😭😭😭😭
Hope you see this... search for Rainbow Bridge, about a place where pets go to await their owners' passing.
They are the very best of us.
Brilliant.
Well, that made me cry, my eyes out
Beautiful, period.
Wonderful and sad ❤️🌹
Beautiful!!!!!
This thoughtful animation, it seems to me, to be about the beauty that life contains.
Well, this just broke my heart.......

Jackson The Dog Was Way To Cute❤
