Script: A day in the Life of a Dog

Summary:      A short film that captures the everyday life of a dog. The script will
                        take on the dog’s mind and bring you through a typical day. In
                        doing so the story hopes to open up the mind of the viewer in a
                        humorous way to show how differently life is perceived from different
                        creatures.

Characters: Dog

Scene 1: Daybreak

Opens with shot of dog lounging in his bed. It is morning.

Dog:                Oh bother! Is it that time again? I guess I must wake from my slumber
                        and go greet master in the food lounge. I wonder what will be
                        prepared this morning for my breakfast.

[Shows Dog walking towards kitchen.]

[End Scene.]

Scene 2: Master greetings

Dog wags tail and is being pet by his owner in the kitchen.

Dog:                Oh how nice it is to see you this morning. I trust you slept well master? I slept quite lovely.

[Shows dog eating out of his bowl and his owner eating at the table.]

Dog:                What an exquisitely delightful food. So rich in taste I must say!

[End Scene.]

Scene 3: Looking through the Glass

Dog is sitting looking out the window

Dog:                I wonder what nonsense the squirrels will play today. Surely they will be entertaining.

[Doorbell sounds.]

[Dog looks alarmed.]

Dog:                Oh my! The house has summoned a visitor! It is much too early for
                        this. I have not even had the chance to have my morning tea. What a
                        dreadful interruption to my morning viewing of the squirrels

[Dog walks to the door.]

[Dog jumps up onto the windowsill to see the mailman walking away.]

Dog:                I should have known it was that gentleman who brings us all those
                        pieces of paper.  I must be getting old! You’d think I was ten instead of
                        two!

[End Scene.]

Scene 4: Warm Welcome

Dog lies in front of the fireplace relaxing. Sun is setting outside.

Dog:                What a splendid fire! I do believe master should be arriving shortly.
                        Especially since that brilliant yellow ball outside has fallen quite a bit
                        since morning.

[Dog looks out window and sees the owner driving up in his car outside.]

Dog:                Ah yes finally my companion has returned from that mystical moving
                        device.

[Owner walks in door and dog wags his tail smiling to greet him.]

Dog:                Master! Master! You are home!

[End Scene.]

Scene 5: A Day’s End

The dog is lying on the master’s lap on the couch near the fireplace. The owner is reading a book and the dog lay nuzzled in his lap.

Dog:                I believe this is the life if I do say so myself Master. What a lovely way
                        to end such a splendid day. Now if you don’t mind I think I may just
                        doze off. Good night Master.

[End Scene.]
