The Society of Gibraltar Ship Dogs

Rights sold: Latvian

Standing in a little town of wooden buildings is a somewhat slanted three-storey house. Its colourful tenants include Sirje and her grandson Anton, who has been sent there for school. One day, a perky, clever fox-coloured dog appears at their doorstep. When Sirje and Anton are unable to find the dog’s owner, they decide to keep him as their pet. They name him Saku, buy him a bowl and a collar, and pay a trip to the vet. There, Anton informs everyone that Saku is a “Gibraltar ship dog” – a breed the boy himself has thought up. However, taming the formerly free-running dog doesn’t always go smoothly for his new owners. Thus, it comes as no surprise when the daring Gibraltar ship dog suddenly disappears one day.
