Screen Structure

The life of one puppy:

From street life, to rescue, to foster care, to home

DOCUMENTARY

Puppy found on street and surrendered to animal shelter in poor condition.

Collar too big and missing hair due to mange.

In foster care while being treated for mange. This could work out.

The hairless wonder finding a comfort zone.

Comfort zone found and hair slowly growing back.

A long way to go, but at least he is cared about for once in his life.

Life has certainly improved for him.

Not only is his hair growing back, but he is showing his playful side.

Everything is a toy! Look at the hair!

A few months in and there are vanishing signs of his mange and street-life.

Happy, comfortable, but still alert.

Life is good especially since the foster family decided to adopt him.

Full body of hair and a furrever home to enjoy life it.

Dogs and cats to share a home with and a football team to support (go Packers!)

Enjoying a dog park! This is how his life should be!
