Pip – A Small Paw with a Big Dream

The short film showcases the trials and tribulations of a young puppy attempting to become a
guide dog despite their very small—and cute—stature! The video was made to support Southeastern Guide

very dog, Pip, is currently undergoing training at their Palmetto, FL campus.

Service dogs are a gift to us all, and in a gorgeous new short film from Tongal you can fall in love
with real-life service-dog-in-training Pip, who is the inspiration behind this beautiful underdog story. Grab Two dedicated
your tissues, because this true story is a tearjerker. The lovely film is a sweet and smart way to highlight
how important guide dogs are, and also how good puppers are.
One last thing the video shows us is that while training, obedience are of utmost importance, the Dachshund breeders
underpinnings of what makes dogs our preferred companions truly standout; the ability and willingness to
serve and to protect.
