  • Summary: The documentary-like story of a yellow Labrador Retriever guide dog for the blind named Quill. We follow Quill from the litter, his selection to become a guide, his life with a foster family until his first birthday, followed by highly specialized schooling in guiding the sightless. He is then paired with a blind man named Watanabe Mitsuru who is at first reluctant to rely on Quill. But Quill’s great patience, gentleness and skill eventually wins him over and they become inseparable friends. (Music Box Films)… Expand

    The exquisite live-action Quill: The Life of a Guide Dog may be the family film of the year.

    What sets this film above so many movies about animals is that it's about a dog who is realistic in every aspect.

    The real star is Rafie, the golden pup that plays Quill; dogs can be taught to sit or lie down, but they can't fake the sort of connection he makes with the people around him.

    Yoichi Sai's movie may be a bit tough for young viewers, but it is gentle and illuminating.
