The film tells the remarkable story of a Scottie named Hitchcock and his family from the perspective of his canine ‘brother' Finnlay. Hitchcock was a highly sensitive individual, very intelligent and extraordinary in his commitment to cooperate with his humans.

He became famous for being the first representative of his exotic breed to qualify for an international agility competition. The combination of his owners, Mike being a film maker and Bettina a professional dogtrainer meant his feats could be shared worldwide on social media. Countless people had their eyes opened to how Scotties love to be mentally engaged and, as a result, experienced how this added a new dimension to their relationship with their dog. Hitchcock's story touches the viewer. It is authentic, honest, funny, emotional and deals with topics that are relevant to us all. Especially in stressful times, this film can highlight what really matters and how valuable and beautiful life is.

The film shows in a very entertaining way how the dogs are a large part of the life of Mike and Bettina, for example when they are working or when travelling to Scotland and England. The viewer follows Hitchcock's life with his ongoing agility adventures and how the course of life develops. It is about the big questions in life, about recognising how short and precious life is and how valuable is the present moment.. People can learn this from dogs...
