This Oscar-winning animated short film tells the story of one man's love life as seen through the eyes of his best friend and dog, Winston, and revealed bite by bite through the meals they share.

I'm always suspicious of animations about people who live their lives vicariously through their pets, and so approached this short cartoon with some sceptiscm. Instead of just getting a series of well drawn "aw, bless" moments, though, we actually get something a little more charming as "Winston" is rescued from a life on the street by a man who feeds him relentlessly. As he grows - upwards and outwards - he provides us with some eyes into the loneliness of the life of his master whom we all end up hoping might meet a girl - ideally the local waitress whom he has taken a shine to. What chance that romance might blossom? Well, that's not really a question we need to ask, instead we just have to sit back and enjoy some canine shenanigans from it's own perspective. Sure, it's not exactly a critique on the foibles of human relationships and in many ways reminds me why I am not a dog lover (what won't they do for food?) but this is still quite an enjoyable and colourful foray into the concepts of friendship, loyalty and the nastiness of vegan food.
