WARNING: This film is about a dead dog. If you can't laugh at this--stop watching.
This short features an odd woman who gets a job watching a dog named "Pookums". Its owner is a bit of an obsessive nut and you know he'll be heart-broken if anything happens to it. However, soon after he leaves, the dog unexpectedly dies and then one bad thing after another occurs in this very irreverent comedy.
If you are a pet owner who is deadly serious and can't laugh about this, don't watch the film!! It's NOT a real dead dog (thankfully) but those pet owners who are insufferable about their pets probably shouldn't watch! This short film currently has an extraordinarily low score on IMDb and I assume it's because of the dead dog. However, it's meant to be a COMEDY and they never showed the dog--so it's not like it's offensive. Despite this and being a pretty good film, it's rating on IMDb is now lower than 2.0!! Even late night TV test pattens score higher than this! Don't believe the numbers. I truly believe that a few dreadfully unfunny people have watched and scored this--and with so few reviews so far, the numbers are really skewed.
