Gursel & Elly (& Kate Bush)
A tiny red poodle becomes a man’s dearest companion. They share road trips, farm life and a love of Kate Bush. When Gursel comes within a whisker of death, Elly and Kate are there.

but I think that dogs, not only do they sense
when you’re unwell,
I think they can actually heal.”
