Overview

Sometimes love happens in an instant.

From their first meeting, a kid and his dog become best friends. As the years go by, their bond grows deeper as they play games, go on adventures, learn new tricks, comfort each other, and celebrate milestones together.

But when it’s time to say goodbye, there’s heartache and empty spaces everywhere. Despite the sadness, love remembers . . . and never goes away.
