A dog escapes from a young couple in a marital crisis. Distressed, they seek help from a woman who claims to communicate telepathically with animals. Her abilities, however, prove useful in more than just the search for the missing pet. Dog is an exploration of interpersonal and interspecies relationships from both perspectives. This diploma work was developed under the supervision of Marcin Wierzchowski. The script evolved from actor improvisations, and professional sources and literary inspirations on the subject of relationships with animals and communication with the non-human world were used.
