Ever wonder what your dog is thinking? Get an insider's view with this film. What's remarkable about this piece is that it was shot — in sequence — on one roll of super 8mm stock with the sound recorded separately.

*heavy sigh* Reminds me of my dog Dutchess. Bravo Mr. Hearn and Mr. Penfold.

Just watched 2 films by you....must say that I was quite moved by them. They were funny and bit sad as well. Matter of fact, I had to watch them twice because I couldn't see through the tears. My best friend is named Sadie Dawgins and she is never more than a few feet away, except for potty breaks, been that way for 7 years now and hope for many more.Wonderfull work!Thank you,Jon Bryant New Mexico, USA

wlwamsley12/9/06
I imagine my dog would sound like that.
Michael9/13/06
Only a person living with a dog will really be able to appreciate it. Wonderful
amanda7/9/06
I made me think with a the looks that and the barking he does. What goes through his head! I LOVED IT! GREAT WORK! If it was a play I would give it a standing ovation
Kepi7/4/06
Great little film, the narrator has got his voiceover off to a tee! Always wondered what my dogs were thinking ;)
MzMeow6/28/06
Please! Keep 'em coming. I cracked up so hard, I am sure my neighbors think I am a nut case. They might not be all wrong;) Just love Ben too pieces. Great material. Original:):):):):)
Kaelio6/8/06
Pure genius. I can hear my dog thinking the same things!
Caitlin6/5/06
fur + foreign accent = fantastic
Tom5/27/06
Glorius... This was fantastic.. In a world full of hate and violence this is a much needed film. The smaller things in life should be appreciated.. Nothing is as strong as the bond between a dog and his human friend.. This is what life is all about ..
DC5/24/06
Great little file.
Adrienne5/24/06
A real dog's life. Great perspective

Great. As a dog fan, I love this! It's one of my faveourite short films ever since I saw it on ITV during a short-film programme. Superbly shot.
Sam Hearn5/13/06
Many thanks for all your lovely feedback. It's great to know that our film touched a few people out there. Big Love, Sam.

Great film for anyone who loves dogs, and brief enough for anyone who doesn't to still enjoy. 5/10.

man seen from dogs eyes
ConqueringId4/1/06
Aw man, this was beautiful. I really really loved it. Amazing. I got all teary too.
Owen 1/15/06
very good, especially considering the one roll/in camera editing on super 8. Makes me nostalgic for my old dog.
Anonymous7/28/05
This Video is delightful, Its just a pieceful piece and very good
B7/18/05
Good idea with good writing however, poor with respect to visual quality.
Anonymous7/18/05
very nice.
Anonymous7/17/05
Note, it's not G rated, but I doubt anybody would give a flip. Very cute! It does tug at the heart a bit. Yeah, this guy should have gotten his dog a playmate years ago! And yeah, it handles the topic of castration very well.
Anonymous7/16/05
its a good movie
Jess7/16/05
it is jerky in places but it's the sweetest thing!!
Nicole7/15/05
What a sweet boy. (The Dog)
RaZa7/13/05
Very jumpy and blurry video at times. Messed with my eyes a lot. The dialog was alright, but not worth the current 4 stars!
Brett7/12/05
That was so sad! I always feel bad for my dogs, forced to sit around all day with no reason for existance. Great film.
Lboughter7/12/05
A true work of art for dog lovers all over. Poignent at time but oh so true !
Nicole7/12/05
I'm a sissy I know, so I can understand how I got teary. Very well written & shot. I don't really like Dogs but...this one's ok!
EricinBP7/12/05
A must see for all dog lovers!
antsy panties7/10/05
i wonder what my animals would say about me? anyway, that was a cute little relationship that dog thought he had.
jessi7/8/05
wonderful and refreshingly honest. A dog couldn't have said it better!
Ted Fryar7/7/05

BOB7/4/05
A WONDERFUL STORY.
csp7/4/05
Lovely.
Dits7/3/05
A truly beautiful film. Anyone who has ever owned a pet needs to see this one. It's as hearbreaking as it is funny.
Jeff7/3/05
Oh yeah, and a good choice of dogs. Not one of those little ornamental ones. A bit, real dog.
Jeff7/3/05
Nice, mellow movie. The narration was good, the video was fitting. Not at all like those loud comedy movies about animals who think like people.
Anonymous7/3/05
Good stuff

Very, very good.
Alucard307/2/05
This film brought a tear to my eye. just shows you just how much man and dog are best friends. hmm
Johannes6/28/05

oved this one. Keep you the good work.
JB JONES6/24/05
This was a remarkably splendid film. It was sentimental and sweet and humorous. It was equal parts heart and art.
Anonymous6/23/05
sweet. funny. simple. great soundtrack. good job fellas.
Joel6/23/05
In spite of it's intended humour this is a very sweet, well executed film, full of heart and honesty. Bravo!
Wiley Weasel6/22/05

wonderful!
N. Ash6/22/05
Enjoyable and though-provoking. An excellent film overall.
Amore'6/22/05
Very nice film. Great use of a single roll too.
Hana6/22/05
Short and very sweet, thoughtful, funny and odd, just like dogs. It is a quiet but emotionally powerful film, at least for dog lovers. Makes one think.
Anonymous6/22/05
Is that what my dog is thinking...poor baby!
Herr Doktor6/21/05
Yah der Hund ich gudt und sidensplitten mit munchen biter!
Mike Olsen6/21/05
Vry nicely done. The nature of dog, shows us the true nature of Zen, Buddha, God, or whatever you believe in. It's in front of us, but usually out of reach.
pep6/21/05
Not bad but the voice of the dog was hard to understand/hear.
Domonic6/21/05
This film is superb - just shows you don't lots of fancy kit and a big budget if the writing is of a sufficiently high caliber! Nice one!
Menekse6/21/05
WOW What truely gifted filmmakers these guys are, I mean really, well done chaps! A pat on the back from me.
hkbf236/21/05
depressing
Terentius6/21/05
Very touching film. If I had a dog I would make sure it had a friend, preferably of the opposite sex so they could shag all day long.
Anonymous6/21/05
I've had dogs all my life but I have never looked at it quite this way. REALLY GOOD .
Anne6/21/05
Beautiful: sad, funny, all those good things.
Crowbabe6/21/05
This was simply darling, and I am a cat person.
Anonymous6/21/05
This was just great! People who have cats just wouldn't understand.
isabelle6/21/05
Charming!
Andre' C6/21/05
Great little film. Loved the "thoughts track" and the twist at the end. Great job.
Don6/21/05
An old theme redone with a wicked streak of sublime humor. There's something purely hysterical about a deadpan delivery of an observational comment about an embarrassing subject. This is the funniest short film I've seen in .... well, ever.
