Have you ever wondered what the reason was your parents let you have a pet? It wasn't just because you were good or they could not tolerate your pleas any longer. It was mainly because of the lesson it would bring you. Sure, being responsible is vital but what is more vital is being open minded. Having a pet allows for time to bond and connect. Like a mother or father with a child. As time goes you and your pet grown in many ways. In this case expansion. Sooner or later borders will not be the same that you ... once saw. Things will change and that love from your connection will come in. Forcing you to expand as well to continue the bond.

I could go on and on about the empty nest syndrome and life time partners but i will say this instead. A lot of lives lessons from a kid to becoming a grownup can be learned from this small movie. All you have to do is dive in.

I mentioned the plot/ message was nice but so is the art. The art is perfect for the story because of its clear rookie hand drawn appearance. You might not realize it but as the story progresses so does the art but it is not a very apparent thing.
