Synopsis/Details
John makes the heart breaking decision to have his old dog, Bruno, put to sleep. It’s never easy saying goodbye to your loved ones, it’s especially hard for John as he recently lost his wife.
The two spend Bruno’s last day doing everything he loves before finally saying goodbye. That night, overcome with grief, and blind drunk, John stumbles upon a pet DNA cloning advertisement. With nothing left to lose he applies.
With the arrival of the cloned puppy, Bruno II, seven months later, John soon realises that is it more than just our genetic make-up that makes us who we are.
