Synopsis


My Dog Tulip is an animated film about the true account of a middle-aged man’s adopting an Alsatian dog he named Tulip. To his surprise, she turned out to be the love of his life, the ideal companion he had been searching for in vain for years. My Dog Tulip is a bittersweet retrospective account of their fourteen-year relationship. In vivid and sometimes startling detail, the film shows Tulip’s often erratic behaviour, her canine tastes, and her owner’s determined efforts to ensure an existence of perfect happiness for her.
