A future seeing-eye dog is raised
from birth by a volunteer family.

At 10 months, the dog
begins a year of training.

'Morning!

Right. Chair.

Good. Stop.

Sit down.
Good.

Hey, lida!

You're leaving yourself
wide open.

Keep your arm tucked in
as you punch.

This is how you do it.

You got that?

That's better.
Keep it in mind.

Alright, Shiro.
Stay.

Hey, Shiro.
How are you today?

That doesn't sound right.

You hear that?

Takeshita.

Yes?

What's with your right arm?

Nothing.

Are you concealing
an injury?

No, my arm has healed.

That hurts!

l'm using very little pressure.

lt doesn't hurt.

lf you ignore the pain signals,
you'll ruin your career.

There's proof before
your eyes.

Go and see the doctor.

Now!

l'll fight any time.

These punk kids wouldn't
stand a chance.

l like to hear that.

Allow me to buy you one, Gong

Down the hatch!

l drank too much.

Let's go.

Shiro.
Go.

Don't you start.
l know l shouldn't drink.

When you're angry,
you walk differently.

Next time
you can have a drink, too.

Michelle.
Sit.

Good. Wait.

Okay.

Leica, sit.
Good.

Wait.

Okay.

Shiro.

What's the matter, boy?

lf you don't eat,
you won't get well.

Still not eating?

He doesn't eat at home, either.

You've got to get better.

l guess it's time to make
my rounds.

l'll turn the lights off.
Sleep well.

You don't look very happy.

Still awake?
l came back for the keys.

Can't sleep?
You poor thing.

Gong's death wasn't your fault.
Don't take it so hard.

Where are those keys?

Here.

Don't be so scared.

l'm in a bit of trouble.

l've been told that l can't
get in to heaven.

l didn't do many good
deeds here on earth,

so l have to fix that up

before they'll let me
into heaven.

So l thought l should
do something for you, Shiro.

You don't believe me?

l'm serious.

Go on, make a wish.
Anything, whatever you want.

Hurry it up.

Are you serious?

That's a tough wish to fill.

Come on, then.

The enclosed file lists
all the names.

This will help you to
solve the case.

A pity it has to be this fella.

He's a cop but it's the only
death we have today.

Shiro, no!

Cut it out.

You're a human, now.
Don't blow it.

Your old home?

This is hers.

No mistake.

What are you doing?

Oh, shit.

What's going on here?

The house is vacant.

Nobody lives here?

Not a soul.

Where did they go?

lt must be ten years ago
by now.

The entire family was
killed in a plane crash.

lt was so sad.

So, what's your connection
with all this?

Come on,
my little pretty.

Something wrong?
C'mon, my pretty.

That was bad luck,
wasn't it?

Not much we can do
about that.

Since you're a man now,
let's go get laid.

l remember now.

Their daughter wasn't
on the plane.

Are you sure?

What's that big soccer town?
Kashima City.

l think that's where
she is now.

Thank you very much.

Thank you so much!

Are you satisfied now?

C'mon, let's go.
Let's get going, Shiro.

So you're a virgin, are you?

You're gonna love women.

Be serious.

What do you mean?

You're just like you were,
you're far too slack.

D'you realize who you're
talking to?

We're equal now.

l granted your wish to
become a man so you could

find this girl.
Don't you forget that.

Alright.
Suit yourself.

Do as you please.

You're not coming?
l'll go by myself!

Look at him.

He's cute.

You like him?

He's lovely.

His name is Shiro.

Pat him.

Pick him up.

Shiro.

See this?
lt's my bicycle.

See the bike?

Okay, a big smile.

Say cheese.

Haruka,
it's time to say goodbye.

Shiro

Do your best to become
a good seeing-eye dog.

Shiro

Sit.

Wait.

Come.

Thanks for the ride.

Good morning.

Hold on, please.

Miss Suzuki.
You're late again.

Try to be on time.

l'm sorry.

-See to it.
-Yes, sir.

Okay, everyone.
Back to your seats.

Good morning.

Let's all try to be friends.

l like the sandbox.

lt's a zoo!

Wait!

They never listen to me.

Don't do that.

You want animals?

Good morning.

Have you all been good?
That's nice.

So many animals today.

Here they are.

Open up.
Let me through.

l'll put them down.

Look at them.

Say hello to them.

Aren't they cute?

Hello there.

l'll help you.

Can you take these?

Haruka, grab this.

Here.

What's next?

Take this squirrel.

There's nothing to be
scared of, Haruka.

What is Miss Suzuki carrying?

Guinea pigs!

That's right!
Now go ahead and stroke them.

There are three things
to be careful of.

First, don't yell out loudly.

Never run near them.

And never try to grab
them from behind.

Always from the front.

Okay, go and play with them.

l'll show you the chicks.

Rabbits over here!

Now who wants to
feed the goat?

Pick some grass
for Bonnie the goat.

He must be hungry.

What are you doing?

l'll call the police on you.

Get out of here now.

He's escaped!

Quickly, grab it.

Catch it.

Thanks.
You're a naughty rabbit.

Thanks for that.

You must have a gift.
He doesn't usually like men.

Hands up if you had fun.

Let's all say
the words of farewell.

Farewell and take care.
Tomorrow again, in good health.

Farewell and take care.
Tomorrow again, in good health.

Now get your things and
file out.

Be careful.

What?
You can see me, can you?

Alright.

l guess you can.

Listen.
Never get scared by fate.

You don't know fate?

How to put it?

Enjoy your life.

Have fun
to your heart's content.

Do you understand
what l say?

Riku, what's up?

Are you still mad at me?

-See you.
-Goodbye.

Darling!

Sorry l'm late.

-See you.
-Goodbye.

l love you!

Excuse me.

Hello?

Excuse me.
Can you grab that book for me?

Thank you.

Psychology of
Autistic Children

Hi, Hagi.
Just finished work?

Can l go with you?

l'll pedal.

Didn't l tell you?

lt's not worth being a
human being.

You and l are finished,
right?

lnside, you're still a dog,
aren't you?

Chasing after your master
all day.

Who is she?
Cheeky thing.

lt's not your concern.

Don't you get it?

You can't go and tell her
that you're her old dog.

Don't get so upset.
l spoke out of turn.

Look, l'm sorry.

Wake up.
C'mon, get up.

You slept here?

Out you come.

Come on.

-l'm sorry.
-l don't mind.

No job?
Are you unemployed?

That's right.

You wanna work here?

You appear to have
mysterious powers.

Listen,
when you finish cutting,

go and give Bonnie
a feed of it.

The goat, Bonnie.

Go back to the cage.

ln the cage with you.

This way.

Hello.

Hi there.

This is Shiro.
He started work here today.

He's great.
He's got a way with animals.

Were you an animal
in a previous life?

Don't get so upset.
l was only kidding.

They all reckon l was a
monster in my previous life.

Feel that.

lt's really warm.

lt should be.
lt's alive.

lt's the dung from my
beloved animals.

Take as much as you want.

Thank you.

Give her a hand
with the manure.

Too heavy for her.

Thanks.
Just leave it here.

No need.
l can do that.

My boss said to help you.

l'll get the tools.

lt's all finished.

Yes.

You're lucky.
My food is great.

l'm a good cook.

She's back here again.

What's up?
l thought you were busy.

This is a gift from my boss.

What is it?

There's no need for that.

Wine? That's very kind of him.
Join us for dinner.

No, thank you.

l'll go broil the squid.

Wait here.
l won't be long.

The children had so much fun
they want you back next week.

Once more before
summer vacation.

Okay, l'll be there.

Want some?

No thanks, l'm fine.

See you.

D'you hate animals?

Why ask that?

l don't know.
You seem to be scared.

Look.
lsn't he cute?

Poor things.
Kept in cages all day.

Why can't they be free?

Why don't you let them
out to live freely?

They'd all die.

Why?

ltjust wouldn't work.

They can't survive
on their own.

One, two, three...

Well done.
Now everybody into the pool.

Start with youngest.

Dip your legs in first.

What's wrong, Riku?

You want to join them?

lt's fun playing in the water.

You come with me.

Hold on.
Don't wet your pants.

Let's hold our breath
under water.

That was quick.
Who's the longest?

You win!

Ready, Riku?

Now kick your feet.

Good.
That's great.

Look this way.

Very good.
Having fun?

Now try it on your own.
There you go.

Well done, Riku.

You're getting better.

What's that for?
Stop it.

That's enough, boys.

-What is it?
-Look at Riku!

Get an ambulance!
Quick.

Come on, we're leaving.

Let's go.

Not that way.

Hello?
Yes?

Yes, speaking.

ls that right?
Yes, l understand.

A cancellation.
Unload.

A boy died
so they canceled.

C'mon, go back.

Want some?

l don't want anything.

Look, it really wasn't
your fault.

Don't dwell on it.

That was his fate.

You should know that.

You had to believe your
parents' deaths were fate, too.

lt couldn't be helped.

Quit being a kindergarten
teacher if you want.

We can live together.

l'm okay.
Stop worrying.

What?

What's he doing?

What are you doing?

They've germinated.

They have.

They're sprouting.

They're so tiny.

Have this.

lt's a holiday.

Summer vacation.

Here l am drinking beer
while everyone's working.

But it feels good.

Drink up.
l need a partner in crime.

Okay, sure.

The parallel bars and jungle gym,
everything is so small.

Like a fairy world.

Through adult eyes, yes.

To a kid's eye, it's normal,
and to a dog...

...they're gigantic.

To a dog?
You say weird things.

How was your family
after that?

After what?

l mean...

...your family...

...l hear you lost your
family years ago.

Was your family...

...was it a happy family?

Yes, l think so.

We were a happy family.

Great!

That's fantastic.

No matter how hard you try,
you can still lose everything.

How did this happen?

Are you talking about
your parents?

Or the boy...

Just in general.

No.
lt's nothing.

lt looks like your luck
has turned.

Sorry to interrupt.

This kid wants to say
goodbye to her.

Bye bye.
The pool was fun.

See you.

l'll take the kid
to the gates of heaven.

You're not like most people.

You think so?

Don't misunderstand.
l mean in a good way.

Good morning.

Hi there.

l'd like to work with you guys.

Over the vacation.

But that means handling animals.

l'll do my best.
After all, l am a teacher.

l can't afford to pay you.

Alright.
lt's just for the vacation.

Okay then,
you might as well start now.

Gee, thanks.

-Sorry.
-Sorry.

Think about the animals,
notjust yourselves.

l'm tagging along.

Goats mainly eat straw.

The last straw!

You know that saying?

Clutching at straws!

Feed Bonnie.
That's her name.

Wait. Wait for me!

Stop chasing him around.

They won't be with us
much longer.

That's how it goes.
That's their fate.

You can't fight it.

Like me dying,
that was my fate.

l don't agree.

How else can l accept
the reality?

lf that's the case...

...l'll go change fate.

l know only too well that
l didn't lead a good life.

l left home and my parents,
with nothing but contempt.

l always thought l'd return
a triumphant champion.

l convinced myself.

But l never made it.

A total failure,
aren't l?

Almost finished.

You did well.

Just help me to unload
the animals.

Grab the bridle.

Come on. Move.

Let's finish before
it gets dark.

-What's up?
-l can't reach it.

-Here.
-Thanks.

What's with you two?

l'm leaving.

See you tomorrow.

Thanks a lot.

-Bye.
-Take care.

See you tomorrow, Shiro.

l'll be back
in the morning.

Good.

Okay, see you.

l hate my goddamn job.

All those idiots,
they're so goddamn stupid.

l'd better go.

Are you okay?

l don't want you going
there anymore.

Where's there?

That scungy little zoo.

Why not?

Why?
You have to ask me why?

That guy in white.
Are you in love with him?

What is this?

Jealousy...
...l guess.

l'm jealous.

You looked so happy
and content.

Not like when we're
together.

l stood watching you.

l'm a coward.

You think so, too.

lf you really want to,
you can go.

Well?
Are you satisfied now?

l'm getting sick of this.

You wanted to see the girl.
Your wish was answered.

Time to go back.

A little longer.

Really?

Just a little while.

But why?
How come?

Don't tell me
you're in love with her?

-No!
-Liar!

You mean a dog fell
in love with a girl?

That's gotta end in tragedy.
Forget her.

l told you it wasn't love.

Who are you talking to?
Don't act crazy, go to bed.

Shiro

How old are you now?

Twelve, isn't it?

Yes, right.

You look like you're
in good health.

But you've got only
a year or two left.

Don't go falling in love.

Let's say,
just for example,

that she falls for you.

Next thing you know,
you break her heart.

We've gotta go back.

Well, looking at you...

What about me?

...it makes me think death
isn't such a big deal after all.

So l really would like to stay
for a little while longer.

Stupid bastard!

You don't know shit.

You don't understand a
goddamn thing.

Good morning.

'Morning.

What are you doing?

l made a sign for
the roof.

l'm bolting it on.

Be careful up there.

My dream is to take the zoo
all over Japan.

You can come, too.

l'll think about it.

ls this small enough?

A little smaller.

This size?

Sure.

ls something wrong?

Why ask that?

Did you two fight?

No.

Mr Tokai?

Where am l?

Are you alright?

What's that mean?

What's up with you?

How many fingers?

Two, you silly bugger.

That's a relief.

How long must l stay here?

Normally, about a month.
But ask the doctor.

That's a problem!

We need to scan your brain.

l'm no bloody guinea pig!

Don't worry about the zoo.

l'll keep coming while l'm
on holiday.

Don't have much choice, do l?
But can l trust you two?

l'm afraid they'll have
to leave now.

l'll see you later.

l'll escort you to your table.

Excuse me, sir?

All up, l looked after him
for about a year.

Once the dog becomes of age
you have to

give them back to
the guide dog center.

On the day we had to hand
him back, l was really upset.

l knew l'd never
see him again.

The thing is,

you have to ignore the dog
if you ever run into him.

At the time,
l couldn't understand that.

Perhaps because it'd upset
the dog.

Of course!
l didn't even think of that.

l was so angry at everyone.

l tried to force myself to believe
that l hated animals.

l convinced myself never
to have another pet.

Then l began to
really hate animals.

lt's a phobia.

l was scared of them,
really scared.

You see,
deep down l love animals.

Maybe at the zoo l can
get back those feelings again.

What was the name
of your dog?

His name?

Yes, his name.

Shiro.

We called him Shiro.

What a coincidence!

Same name as you.

Exactly the same.

What a surprise.

lt sure is.

Excuse me.

Something wrong?

What's the matter?

Wait!
Wait for me!

Good evening.

Hagi?
What are you doing here?

Nobody wants this scungy zoo,
so l burned it.

Are you serious?

What did you do this for?

Take them to safety.

l hope both of you
will be very happy!

Hagi, why?

Get lost.
l hate both of you.

As for me...

...l'm gonna die here.

No! Hagi, stop.
Please don't.

Hagi, don't do it!

Come here.

You don't need me to
be happy.

Who cares!
Life's not worth living.

lt's always worth living.

Let's go, now.

No.
Just let me go.

l want to die.

Poor Hagi.

Fire broke at a
traveling zoo last night

and many of the animals
perished.

Authorities suspect it
is a case of arson.

One man risked his life
to save another.

There he is.

May we have a word?

You did a greatjob.

Some are calling you
a hero.

We heard this could be arson

resulting from a love triangle.
Any comment?

Leave me be.

One of the parents sent
me this tape anonymously.

You're a regular visitor
to that zoo.

Are you one of those
in the love triangle?

That's an exaggeration.

Let's not split hairs.

Either you're involved,
or you're not.

Yes, it's true.

ln that case,
l'll have to fire you.

We can't afford more scandal.

ls that clear?
l have to go now, l'm late.

l understand.

l should hope so.

Hi.

Good morning.

That guy...

...he's a good man.

l'll turn myself in.

Goodbye.

What's up?
Why the big rush?

Farewell.

Take care.

Tomorrow, again,
in good health.

Cremation Ceremony

Please wait over there.

No need to be so
down in the dumps.

lt wasn't my doing.
l didn't want to die.

But it's probably for the best.

A man can't get no
satisfaction, can he?

Shiro.
Listen, take good care of her.

You make a good couple.

Aren't you listening?
They make a good couple.

l suppose so.

Speak your mind, man.

You silly bugger.

Take the zoo around Japan.
You'll have a grand time.

You're a real selfish bugger,
aren't you?

Don't force your dreams
on them.

What the hell!

He has his own destiny
to live out.

He doesn't need bad advice
from an old fart.

l beg your pardon?

He's a dog.
He's got a year to live.

-You filthy liar!
-lt's true.

Cut it out!

A little decorum.

lt's nothing.
l just...l'm sorry.

Once you die,
you end up as bones and ash.

You coming, old fella?

Sorry about the other day.

Forget it.

God says you can stay
a bit longer.

l'm happy for you.

But don't make any more
problems for me.

You need any help?

lf you don't mind.

Can you peel these?

Shall we go ahead and
tour with the zoo?

No?
You think l'm not capable?

No, it's not that.

lt was Mr Tokai's dream.

To travel around the country
showing people the animals.

He did say that.

Where were you born, Shiro?

l think it was someplace
very cold.

We can go there.
Do you have relatives there?

No.

Old friends?

Everyone left.
l really don't know.

All of them?

Just stay there.

Any family?
Maybe children?

Are you married?

No,
l'm not married.

So you've always been alone?

No, not really.

You must have
had a loved one, sometime.

Sorry to ask so many questions.

Doesn't matter.

l really shouldn't.

lt won't work with us,
will it?

Look, l...

...l'm a dog.

l'm the very dog you raised.
l'm Shiro.

But look.

lt's red, like yours.

l'm not different.
l'm the same as you.

Sorry.
l got carried away.

lt wouldn't work.
l'm not fated to be with you.

The back wheels
are bogged.

You're only spinning
your wheels.

Let's get out and walk.

Good morning.

Good morning.

You work here?

Yes.

You have a tall man
working here, too.

Where can we find him?

May l ask who you are?

Police lD

We have information that
the man we seek

appeared on a TV
newsreel.

Him?
He's not coming back.

What's that?

That's what he said
when he left.

l don't even know
where he's from.

l see.

ln that case, please contact
us if you hear anything.

Look at you.

What's with you?

What do you mean?

Do you really think

that by running away
everything will be solved?

ls that what you want?
After getting everyone involved?

ls this the Shiro l knew?

ls this the Shiro who
walked with me

come rain, snow or sleet?
l don't think so.

You said something noble
about changing fate.

You really had me sucked in
with that line.

Welcome back.

Let's travel the country
with the animals.

Did something happen?

The police came here
to arrest you.

We have to escape.

Run!
Get away.

Run!
Go now!

Wait!
Stop right there!

Get in.

You wanted to get rid of me,
didn't you?

That's why you
said you're a dog.

But you know,
l don't care what you are, Shiro.

Or what crimes you've committed.

You see, l love you.

You only said that to make me
give up hope, didn't you?

But l won't give up.

l'll get away all over Japan
with you.

lt's decided.

l don't care what anyone says.

l'm determined.

That's all.

lt's not visible now.

Probably the wrong season.

lt's far too bright not to
be able to see it.

You said it's next in brightness
to the sun.

Sirius?

Yes.

lt's called the Dog Star
in English.

That's what you told me.

The night before
l was taken away.

You pointed it out to me.

l'll never miss you
as long as

l can look up and see
Sirius.

l knew one day you'd
become a star

and watch over me.

Even if you are a dog...

...l still love you.

l fell for you
because you're Shiro.

But it's not natural.

You need a real man
to find real happiness.

A real man?
How do you define that?

Tell me what it means.

You suddenly turn up,

and tell me you're Shiro,
my old dog.

What do you want from me?

l know you're here.

Sorry, pal.
You're out of time.

Well...

...things didn't go quite as
the gods expected.

They're mad at me.

l think l may have got a bit
carried away.

Good morning.

Hey!
Check out the animals!

Shall we do the zoo?

Leave it be!

lf you keep this caper up,
you'll die as man.

Want to see the animals?

Okay then.

Over here.

There are many more.

The gods can get
very nasty sometimes.

Bonnie loves grass.
Who'll feed her?

Sure!

Okay, try.

Watch your hands.

He likes it?

Put it near his mouth.

He wants more.

Here's some more.

l'll go talk to them.

Don't.
They'll never believe you.

They look worried.

l'll think of something.
You look after the zoo.

Do you promise to come back
no matter what happens?

Yes.
Don't ever forget about me.

Remember me, no matter what
form l may come back as.

Okay, everyone,
let's feed Bonnie.

Grab some of the food.

Everybody, give us a hand.

lnspector Harada,
we need to get that list.

Then we can forget that
you were ever a policeman.

You can start a new life
with her.

l've no idea
what you're talking about.

We're notjoking.

Neither am l.

lnspector!
We need to talk.

Not more running!

Forgive me!

That's enough.

l really am sorry about
that, God.

Farewell!

Take care!

Tomorrow, again,
in good health!

Tomorrow, again,
in good health!

Take care!

Corrupt police officials
systematically stole 1.2 billion yen

by rorting a riot police
travel fund.

The superintendent who unveiled
the looting

was found murdered soon after.

How's Shiro
now that he's back?

He seems to be weakening.
Maybe his time is up.

He's old for a dog.

The superintendent appears to have
sent a list of names by email.

Police continue to investigate
the shooting

of the whitle-blowing hero.

C'mon, Shiro.
You have to eat, boy.

Keep your strength up.

Where did you get to
all that time?

We've got a visitor,
