DOG PEARLS: Coming Home

Mitch on the mountain

This poignant, comforting "tiny film" reflects a vivid vision that Little Pearls' Executive/Creative Director Linda had of her older dog Katie, shortly after Katie's death in March 2008.

In the vision, Katie was running joyfully, free and without limits, on a green mountain ridgeline. The first photo here is of Katie's best friend Mitch, standing in for her.

Coming Home is the first of a series of Dog Pearls. It features five dogs filmed in HD on a beautiful mountaintop bald in the Blue Ridge Mountains, June 2008.

These dogs are members of three different families, not trained professionals. They did not all know each other, yet they had so much fun together, running loose and playing on a glorious day in the mountains!

Coming Home was created simultaneously with Spirit Dog, which we released later. Each of these Pearls is approximately one minute long.

Both of these Pearls are poignant, comforting and spiritual. They address living - and dying - with ease, love and grace. 

The next Pearls in this series will be more playful, even funny, sharing more dog wisdom and encouraging adoptions and the benefits of bringing animals into our lives.  Please help!  DO(G)NATIONS!
