When you find out your dog has cancer. The love, the battles, the good-bye, the deep soul-wrenching sadness, the memories. On point.

I came here thinking this would be a cute doggy story (and it was) but I was blindsided by THE FEELS. 😭🤧😭

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.

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

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

Props to the animators with the dog’s running. Until you’ve seen a greyhound run, you have no idea how crazy fast their body moves.

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.

I just couldn't stop crying at the end. It's just too hard to say goodbye to someone you love so much

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

I can't explain how grateful I am to have participated in this project and how much I learned and grew as an animator from all the team

I love how much he tries to avoid losing his dog. It's true. We'd do whatever we could to avoid that last goodbye. I have three babies now and I can't imagine life without them. I hope I won't have to for many more years.

Didn't expect to cry today, but here we are. 10/10 movie

I don’t cry too often. And yet I’m crying. Good job, you made a person that hardly cries, cry. That just goes to show how heartwarming and emotional this is

I love the aesthetic of the movie, it looks like it was done with watercolor paint and I love how the owner and the dog were bound together spiritually

I came into this thinking, "Huh, this isn't so sad" When the film ended, my face was covered in tears. This film shows how attached people can get to their dogs. This film is spot - on 😭💖😭💖😭💖

I started crying after seeing the real Totti at the end. People, do everything to avoid illness from taking over your pet. Sometimes, despite all that we do, there is a negligence somewhere, sometimes. It happens usually with pet owners who have a busy lifestyle. Fill their life with happiness. A happy pet is a healthy pet.

My dog passed away a few years ago, she loves to run, and this hit me on another level, all the emotions came rushing back. Beautiful, but I’m crying now

Okay. From storyboards to the final, I always melt and cry all the tears I have. Man this is the most beautiful love declaration I've ever seen. I'm the happiest for being part of this huge and amazing team. Can't thank you enough for this adventure Shad. Congrats everyone for this magic work

It’s going to absolutely break me when Bo passes. He’s already showing signs his time is coming. I love Totti. And I can’t stop crying lol

Holy moly, I don't even own a dog and this git me so, so hard! Utter ugly crying and bawling into tissues! This is so, so beautiful and amazing, yet so emotional and heart-wrenching! You did an absolutely brilliant job with this!

Love that dog!

I had a song I used to sing to my dog before she ran away, too. All she ever wanted to do was run. She can run as much as she likes now. I will always love you, Ruby.

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!❤

That's an awesome job at making Totti immortal. My faith in humanity is restored.

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.

Damn, I got a face in my tears... This short brings so many memories, everyone who had a loving pet that passed away should watch it, it's so wonderful!!! Excellent work ❤️

YOU DID NOT NEED TO MAKE ME CRY TODAY (also the animation was beautiful)

Words cannot express how saddened I am to see about your loss..😩 pets are like family and loosing them is so hard.totti was such an obedient, strong and adorable dog i've ever seen❣️. after seeing this I really miss my dog who passed away 2 years ago🥺😥😭. Higley appreciation to this masterpiece you've created 🌷.

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

This is one of the most heart-wrenching, beautiful things I have ever seen. I cannot stop crying for Totti and my lost love-dog, Shayna Rose. The colorization and animation are absolutely glorious. It is mesmerizing and spiritual in the loving and the darkness and the letting-go. I fervently hope you and your animation team find great success.♥♥♥

I actually cried.. I barely cry at anything, ever. And this did it. A job well done.

The animation is literally **DEPRESSING**; not the animation exactly but the colouring and lighting. The message it has and the story is great! 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!

My mother also passed away recently... I also did everything on this earth to save her.... 😞 She is my life she is my happiness... Now everything is empty... Missing her so much that words can't describe....

Absolutely touching story. Sadly, it is a true that our beloved ones may leave us, but they will live in our hearts forever. And someday we will most certainly reunite.

Literally just made me cry like a little bitch, cause we just lost our family dog about a month ago. He was like my little brother, my dear Ziggy. One of the best friends I’ll ever have.

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.

Way to go Shad and team. It turned out great! What a touching, sweet story.

I hadn't ugly cried like that in ages, from sad to happy to just... can't breathe through my nose anymore. What a beautiful story. And beautiful memories.

This one hits so, so hard. Thanks to everyone who helped bring this story to life so you could share it with us. It's a tribute to anyone who has ever loved a dog and to the dogs who love them back.

This is absolutely beautiful since losing a close furry friend who would've been 17 years this September- Life is literally in a blink of an eye, especially when our four-legged friends don't live as long as we do🥺🐾💔 Thank you for making this beautiful artwork💗

Cherish, Love and Always Remember your pets because they are sparks of pure joy in our lives no matter how short time we have with them. Thank you for making this video. It truly conveys the feelings only a person that loved their pet deeply will understand.

Totti running to the moon. 😭😭 Now I'm bawling at 2 in the morning. A heartbreaking but heartwarming animation. Kudos to everyone, amazing work.

If it was a person i wouldn't care too much, but since it was a dog I'm drenched in tears.

I watched this with my grandchildren and we were all crying and hugging our dogs. It's just so moving. They all have one small dog each. This movie truly captures the amazing love and joy that they bring you, but also the terrible heartbreak as well. We cry our hearts out, and then get another wonderful dog

the story itself brings out painful memories but also the joy that comes along with it. i love the film very much, and i am grateful the team are able to make it this far! kudos to everyone involved in the making of this project!

I love how the glowing line *signifies* the dog having a leash, yet, he’s still allowed to roam wherever he wants.

It’s very rare for a video to make me cry, but I think every pet owner who’s lost a pet has felt the emotions this young man had. So heartbreaking, yet the ending was bittersweet

That was the best 17:25 of my life. Round of applause for Totti! 👏🏾

I went into this saying I'd be fine. I started bawling at minute 12 and haven't stopped 😭😭😭😭

First time seeing this and this brings all the pain of my beloved pets leaving right back. This is so beautiful.

I can feel the creator's feelings went deep into this. A special connection severed by death, but the memories we hold dear forever in the ❤. A very touching film. 😭🤧

This short can be described with many words, but the one that summarizes them all to me is PERFECTION...at every level. It is catchy, funny, engaging, touching, with such beautiful characters and environments...amazing work from the riggers and the animators. I've enjoyed It so much, it's spectacular. Congratulations to the whole team.

Awesome, I'm so glad to see it shared with the world! Sending love and congrats to all the talented artists who worked on this film!

I love how death was scary at first, but in the end it spread beautiful wings. Rest in peace, Totti!

My dog is 12 years old, I can’t avoid thinking when she was not there with us anymore and this film bring tears running my face, the message is clear, we have to let them go and we must to remember them with joy and happiness, they don’t want to see us sad or suffering, RIP Totti, thanks for the film to all of you made this possible (sorry my bad English, I’m from South America) bye ! 🙏

Proud to be a part of it, for my smallest contribution. Thanks Shad , for giving me an opportunity to work on it 🙏

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 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.

such a beautiful story...❤ Rest In Peace Totti. There are people who love you including me ❤

Thank you all so much for this. I hope this leads to so much success in all of your futures. This is so beautiful heartfelt, and it feels like a story that needed to be told ❤

I loved the artstyle! I don't have a dog, but nevertheless this short made me cry a ton! The hard work reslly paid off this is a beautiful story ❤️

Thank you for showing the love between a boy and his dog. You want to protect your fri end, but can’t. This is the most painful hurt of all. RIP my best friend, run free.😢❤

I'm not crying... not crying. (melts in to a puddle). This is amazing and as an aspiring animator myself the hard work that went into this is amazing.

oh my god, I'm crying, so many thoughts in my head. Thank you for making such wonderful animations, it warms the soul. It's always hard to say goodbye to your pets. But apparently now, I realized that over time it needs to be done. Thank you again.💗

Such a beautiful tribute. Totti was an awesome office mate. Rest in peace.

This is stunning. The bond and trying to escape death that always feels too soon. That break when it finally comes... Then all these memories . It's heartbreaking but really sums up the beautiful relationship of having a dog. Thank you ❤

*Immediately breakdown of pain from where they're chain breaks up knowing he died* RIP Totti never forgotten 🕊️💕

So proud to have been a part of this awesome project! When I worked on this I was pregnant, now I get to sit and watch it with her as a 3 year old!

As I am watching this, I am crying so hard that my dog felt the need to get up from his blanket to comfort me. he has been the best boy I ever had. He is healthy but he is getting old. I will enjoy every day we have left.

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. 🐾

As a pet owner, this got to me. I love the story line, beautiful. I am still choked up about this. My dog is about 13 years and this was one of the things that I know it must be faced: death. Good job on the short film. 🥰🐶🥰🐶♥🐶♥🐶♥🐶♥🐶♥

This short film had so much love life and and feeling. It made me feel the loss of loved ones again. We only feel this when we love. Thank you for a beautiful film:The story, the art work and the way it was told. Just lovely 💔❤

Though I don't have dog but I can feel it...i cried like crazy as if I lost someone who loved selflessly

RIP Totti ❤ This story was incredibly powerful. From heartwarming to dread, then full on sorrow followed by a heartwarming end that still brings the tears. I was not expecting to be hit by that much emotion. Fantastic job!

Absolutely love this video. My own "Totti" passed 2 weeks ago. Her name was Meepo and she was with me for 18 years. Love this video. AND THE ART STYLE!!! OMG!!! Just beautiful!

I said I wasn't gonna cry !! Lost my boy a few years back, still dream of him almost every night

The invisible sparkly leash won my ♥️ Love and hugs for Totti..

I've never lost a dog, but I've lost many beloved cats over my 22 years of life. I really felt the emotion in this film, and I can't express how much I understood so well straight from the get go. This is beautifully done, animation and it's talented artists never ceases to impress me ♡

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.

What a beautiful tribute to a beloved pet and companion. My congratulations and condolences. ❤️

I had a feeling this would go sad, but I tried to prepare myself, yet I’m here sobbing anyways R.I.P Totti

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

Very very Beautiful! It made me cry. I have an Italian greyhound and love her with all my heart. She came to comfort me as I was watching. The animation is amazing, you have captured the essence of the iggies movement. ❤

My beloved boy crossed the bridge very recently and this had me bawling all over again. Very well done

Idk why but i wasn't crying the whole story until that thread snapped like i was completely fine but when that thread had snapped the next second my face was just in ruins but i love this story and honestly this hit me deep bc i love animals, dogs especially but its so heartwarming to see that all those people helped make this masterpiece it was beautiful (⁠ ⁠ꈨຶ⁠ ⁠˙̫̮⁠ ⁠ꈨຶ⁠ ⁠)👍🏾✨

Those are some potent onions you're cutting, man. 😭 Jokes aside. I'm so sorry for your loss. Losing a pet is one of the hardest things you can through, especially when it's not their time. 💔 This film is beautifully crafted. Such an amazing tribute. It's clear that Totti was so very loved, and I'm sure he felt it. Thank you for sharing this. 💜

Beautiful film! I'm forever thankful for the opportunity to be a part of this alongside such incredible talent around the world! The art and animation and music came together in a powerful way.

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.

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.

Beautiful story, the animation is like watercolor and the music combined all bring me to tears.

These are the same feelings I was having when I lost my guinea pig ...... At that time everything was getting worse and suddenly he left us after losing him it was really difficult to accept that he was really gone every another day it feels like from somewhere he will come and ask for food ...his favourite thing to do.....but it's more than a year now and I am so grateful to the little angel he spent his precious life and time with us and made us very very happy just Frome his presence....and ya thankyou so much for the beautiful video it reminded me lots of memories ❤❤

I absolutely love it!! It was such a pleasure to be part of such a beautiful story and to get to know these characters so well. Thank you again for that privilege :) Amazing work to all involved!!

“Why him?” I did NOT sign up for an emotional roller coaster today, sir 🤧

I'd like to say THANK YOU FOR THIS BEAUTIFUL FILM! My Momi passed away and shortly after that my most loyal fur baby, Princess Peaches died, at age 14. I felt like I haven't properly mourned Peaches. The grief of losing my Mum, overwhelmed everything else. My Mum would sneak PP into the ICU when my cancer treatments weren't going so great. That adorable lil Pomeranian floof, would curl up right over my heart and sleep with me. She never left my side. I MISS MY LIL FLOOF SO MUCH! Thanks to this film... I'm able to cry sincerely & mourn. THANK YOU 🩷🧡🩷🧡🩷🧡🩷🧡🩷

Oh there will always be that one dog no other can replace who you cry for longer than he could have ever lived and then some..thank you for making this short it was beautiful!!!!!!!!!!

Never cried at an animation before. This is new. 😂❤

I used this short film today for my elementary writing class. They got to see a short film that had a much deeper feeling to it than the usual fun loving that glosses over loss and heartache. They have been talking about how these feelings are things they have felt but didn't know what they were till watching this. Great film and amazing lesson for little minds.

I lost my dog 2 years ago after raising her from a tiny pup all the way to 16, it still breaks my heart every time I think about her.

I knew what would happen from the beginning, but I still cried lol Great acting and effects animation!

I clicked on this video saying to myself “please don’t be another sad one” and I ended the video sobbing because it reminded me of my dog who died not long ago and it brought back so many memories. Amazing job well done Edit: I just had my second breakdown ✌🏼
