SENIORS, A DOGUMENTARY – Trailer – 2020 from What Were We Thinking Films on Vimeo.
Synopsis: The film follows Zina and Michael Goodin, the Old Friends founders, as they relocate into their current facilities, and introduces us to Leo, social media star and the most popular dog in the sanctuary’s history. We also meet Chaser and her owner Dr. John W. Pilley Jr, who spent his final years working to show just how much a dog was capable of learning, even into her senior years. Not only did Chaser learn the names of over one thousand toys, she was able to differentiate between nouns and verbs, understand full sentences, and mimic Pilley’s actions after observing them just once. Seniors, A Dogumentary also features a song from Nashvillle musician Matthew Ryan.
