There Once Was a Dog is a 1982 short film directed by Eduard Nazarov. It tells the story of an old guard dog who befriends the old wolf he once chased from the village. The wolf helps him to become appreciated again by the villagers, and the dog thanks him by inviting him to a wedding. Based on a folk tale told by many cultures, Nazarov decided to set his version in the Ukraine, where he had spent many enchanted summers and had come to appreciate the beauty of the people, the countryside, and the music.
