Couch Potato Pickings – Bombon El Perro

Why oh why is this 15 certificate movie on at such a ridiculous hour?

I can only think that it must be because it’s not an English language film, but really why should this matter?

Apparently, it’s the bittersweet tale of a dog that changes the life of a man in Argentina. The humans speak Spanish, but the star of the film – Gregorio – speaks the universal language of Dog.

Anyone who has a four-legged friend, wants one, knows one, or who’s just been watching The Underdog show on Living, will know what I mean when I say that this trailer brought a tear to my eye. For some reason relationships between animals and humans are always an emotional topic with me. I expect I’ll be welling up throughout.

I’m going to have to record it though – I’ll never be able to stay up that late.
