[@TheAnxiousOwl]

Rest in peace Totti. I'm glad you got to spend life with someone special.

[@DonoVideoProductions]

I knew, 5 seconds in, that I should NOT watch this. Every second I watched, I knew I should NOT continue. Even at the end, as I could barely see the screen through my tears, I knew I should NOT have watched this. Yet... The amazing tenderness, the beautiful art direction, the palpable love in every frame of this animation prompted me to watch until the very end. Totti would be proud to have such an amazing memorial. I wish I could express the love I have for those I have lost so poignantly. Thank you for adding beauty to the world.

I've lost two dogs to cancer. It sucks so hard. I was told a poem. When you lose a dog, it takes a piece of your heart with it. When you rescue a new dog, it gives you a piece of its heart, so when you die, your heart is all dog.

This film is beautiful. The animation, the painting-like style and the lighting. The symbolism and the sheer weight of the line "why him?" The run scenes and the emotion. It's all beautiful. I LOVE THE TOTTI AND THE TOTTI LOVES MEEEEEEE

[@ArroDowney]

The “why him” made me bawl. My rabbit wasn’t a dog but she was my best friend. My Willow. She passed early last year and the one thing I said when I saw her was “Why her?” Then I held her and cried.

The rope connecting their souls no matter what was such a beautiful touch, but when it snapped, that actually destroyed me

[@judeirwin2222]

The thing is… that energy link, that vital thread can break, but after death, there are moments when you feel the loved one so close, so loving near you. Love doesn’t die. It just takes on a new form. If you remain open in your spirit and allow those transcendent moments to speak to you, you will experience such beauty and such joy. As one who has lost the love of my life and navigated grief, I promise you, it is so.

I expected this to be sad, but not that sad that i would cry. The thing im most scared of as a dog owner, is losing my beloved Cooper. I see him as family and will do anything for him to be healthy, but this film made me realize that one day, i will have to say goodbye to him. I will miss him when the time comes, so for now, im going to make his life has good as possible so he can rest happy. This film may be heart wrenching, but it was beautifully done. The back grounds, lighting, story and everything, just made it feel more.. real. The happy scenes were happy, the sad scenes were sad, it was perfectly done. The animators that worked on this have done a great job. Overall, would i watch this again? Yes, would i cry each time? Yes.

[@PhoenixVic21]

The symbolism of the thread, it breaking, but leaving behind all the memories where they used to run and work. Death being not only small, but big and terrifying. Even fighting death with a synth! This was filled with beauty ❤ and showed the joy, pain, and growth of having a pet. They are not just a friend or coworker. They are our Totti ❤

[@TeenDream888]

how I was expecting this to turn out: a normal progression of time, Totti running through the fields. finally, during a usually run, Totti collapses and when the farmer runs up to see what's wrong, but this time we notice some stubble on his face, a beard, something to mark that time has passed and the farmer is older. how it turned out: Totti didn't get to live too long but spent all his days with the farmer living the best life possible. Death comes swooping in (kinda literally) and my heart is wrenched out of my chest seeing the farmer fighting to come to terms with it. this is what film is all about. thank you for making me cry, sometimes we all need emotional release.

[@Lilly_Diamond202]

This short film is absolutely beautiful and moving! It shows the bond of a human and a dog. You 've got to let them go after many years together, but the loving memories are living on. They love to run and play. As long as it's with you. You will always have a very special place in my heart, Sally!❤

He lost the dog; crying in sorrow of losing him! but still they have the golden memories of him with him... Also the detail about the bond between Toddi and owner gives this movie more speciality in itself!

You should make episodes with Totti. I'm laying next to my husband crying my ever loving eyes out. What a excellent short movie. Please I would love to see more. Like little lessons of love, generosity, helping someone, etc.. thank you for this. I have a dog named hennessy and she's a pit bull and she's my life. I got up and I hugged her crying.

[@melli_X3]

Here before it's 5 years later, this is heartbreaking and heartwarming at the same time, it's a master piece

[@Cotton4all]

You are telling my story with this beautiful work of art. My "Totti" is my dearest ever love, Beau, my 11 yo standard poodle who is hanging in there, but fighting a horrid disease that prevents his body from absorbing most of the nutrients from food. He's lost 14 lbs, and is so frail--even his skinny body resembles Totti's. As sick as he has become, Beau even now siezes any opportunity he finds to run. He has always loved to and lives to run. Frequently, people comment on how beautiful it is to see him run. I've made rigorously caring for him my #1 priority, and he is a really picky eater. I cook high end steaks and chicken for him 2 or 3 times a day. I take him with me everywhere I go. He cannot stand not being right by my side. It's like your film captures the identical soul of my love bond with Beau. Produced many tears--for Beau and me, for Totti and you. Nothing hurts worse. I keep thinking that I won't know how to live without him while I'm ajusting to live with a breaking heart. Blessings and peace~I understand, and I'm so sorry. 🐾

I know and can clearly see that everyone is pointing out how sad this is, But I gotta just say the design of those reaper things was SO COOL!!! And gives you this doomed feeling deep within yourself. The design was awesome with the black feathers, white eyes and large hat, then when the hat turned out to be actually wings! It makes the creatures appear to actually be angles which took his dog to heaven, while also being still very creepy as death is a very dark and mournful time. Truely awesome creativity, I envy not coming up with such a cool design!

I have a dog named libby she doesnt have much time left so this film simply made me realize one day ill have to say goodbye to my best friend, but being missed so much is the price to pay for being loved so dearly.

I was crying enough as it is with the short, only to discover there was a real Totti that also moved on, run high Totti

i'm absolutely not crying. you're crying. but for real, when I saw this I immediately was reminded of my baby boy, he's not with us anymore and I am absolutely amazed on how such a short animation can capture exactly what it feels like to lose not just a pet but a family member and best friend. It captures the 5 stages of grief perfectly. I think the part that hit me the hardest was acceptance. knowing that you wanna do something so badly to make it go away but you can't and it won't, and the best thing you can do for them is to let them go. and it's the hardest thing you've ever had to do.

I thought it was gonna be a cute, goofy dog story... omg did I cry. Cuddles your furbabies and appreciate them before they're gone ❤

What a great tribute! Love the art style and animation, fantastic how the joyous running was captured so well. Serious feels, lovingly handled and portrayed. Losing a beloved pet is so very hard. Thanks for sharing this beautiful piece.

Your story is a beautiful reminder that we should always HONOR our past pets, like we HONOR our families!

This was so beautiful. I'm crying so much now. Totti was lucky to have found you. Wish you all the best ❤

This is so good because it makes you feel things that most animations don’t. It’s really great when you find these kinds of gifted people out there that can create such beautiful works of art. Thank you for your time you spent on making this it’s really amazing❤🎉. For the record this did make me cry like 5 times lol. My grandmas cat and I were imprinted to each other and this reminds me of that relationship. He still revisits me sometimes in my dreams and nightmares now and then. Did you know there’s a place where all pets that die go for each species?! There’s a house in the shape of a cat for cats. All the cats that ever died go there and live their afterlives there in happiness!

was not expecting to cry so much today. beautifully done. the watercolor 3D art style animation is AMAZING like what the heck?!?!?!? how have I never seen anything like this before? Visually this was on another level! I hope Totti's spirit leads you to buttloads of cash cause you are extraordinarily talented, in storytelling and unique lighting and rendering styles! the string between them..... it visualizes something so special, yet unseen, that I have with my cat. his soul is always on my heart. he has been having challenges lately, he's healing very well and right now back to his normal self. I do fear what the vets will tell me next. This really hit me so deeply. I'm choking up as I type this cause it's so special the connection we have with our animals, and this short film really captures that so well. Thank you so much for this

I was bored and clicked on this video but didnt know that it as going to make me so happy and so sad all at the same time! This is truly such a wonderful way to represent the passing of a animal friend. I also agree with you about the animation it was really something special
