The Cave Of The Yellow Dog (U)

Docudrama about spirited six-year-old Mongolian girl Nansal, who discovers a stray dog in a cave, and brings the animal home to her parents. Mother and father fear the mutt has been raised by wolves and therefore poses a danger to their livestock. They forbid their daughter from having any contact with the animal. Nansal names her new pal Zochor and defies her father by continuing to raise the dog. When the family moves on to a new camp far across the valley, Nansal must decide whether to risk her father’s wrath by smuggling Zochor in with their belongings, or bid a tearful farewell to her four-legged friend.
