Here's a short guaranteed to tug at the heart strings like a kite in a gale force wind. Beautiful locale, gorgeous photography, perfect soundtrack, wardrobe and scenery spot on, and Oscar-worthy performances from the primaries. Not a single spoken word, but unnecessary anyway.

I found it moving. Years ago Paul and his partner had two Labradors. A photographer approached Paul when he was out walking them and then came round to the house and took their photographs. Some time later Paul was buying dog food in the supermarket and a photo of the dogs was on the tins of Cesar. The dogs names were Caeser and Fella.
