We are creating a short film called 'a boy and his dog' as our university final project. We are doing this as we believe that the message in our film is important for everyone to grasp. 

Our work needs to be seen by the community of mothers of young children who need insight into grief in children and how to help them learn and develop their emotions as they experiece this heartbreak for the first time.
