It was a story about a boy who, as a gift from his mom, receives a three-legged dog. The boy does not like his gift. He ignores the dog.
This story started out four years ago as a web-comic called “Three-Legged Dog” and the hearts of readers everywhere were touched by it. A German filmmakers decided to adapt this comic into a short film, and the result is magnificent.
