DVD Description
A doggy poo feels all alone and worthless as he finds out that he is not needed for anything. He gets rejected and jeered at constantly, which forces him to despair. As Spring comes, Doggy Poo meets a sprout of dandelion. The dandelion tells him that she needs him in order to become a beautiful flower and Doggy Poo finally understands that there is a purpose for his life as well. He surrenders his body to the dandelion and dreams a beautiful dream of becoming a flower.
"God has not created you for no reason … He must have a good plan for you."
Review
In the stop-motion animated Doggy Poo, a little dog leaves the eponymous character by the side of a road, where it remains to ponder why it exists. Over the course of several months Poo meets a leaf, a hen and a lump of soil, who assures it, "God has not created you for no reason". But the little Poo feels rejected until a dandelion sprout accepts it as fertiliser. The message, that even the humblest have a place in creation, is a worthy one, but in Doggy Poo the main character whines constantly, and the story unfolds at a leaden pace. Parents who find Doggy Poo acceptable viewing for young children--clearly the intended audience--may have to steer their kids away from the genuine article.
