| Quill Plot Summary | |||
| As a Labrador puppy, Quill is sent to live with a couple, Isamu (Teruyuki Kagawa) and Mitsuko Nii (Shinobu Terajima), who work as volunteers, training guide dogs (seeing eye dogs). When he grows to an adult dog, he is taken to a guide dog school, by a friendly, yet firm trainer Satoru Tawada. Although Quill is a little slower than the other dogs at the school, he seems to have an unusual 'empathy' and remarkable patience with his trainers. Tawade decides that Quill would be the ideal guide dog for Mitsuru Watanabe (Kaoru Kobayashi), but Wanatabe, a lonely and ill-tempered middle aged man, isn't as enthusiastic - he would "would rather sleep than be dragged around by a dog." From here, the story is narrated by Wanatabe's daughter, Mitsuko (Yukika Sakuratani), and slowly, Wantanbe is rehabilitated, venturing into the outside world, and learning, not only to trust other humans, but the animal at his side who guides him. If you’d like to purchase tickets, please contact Michelle Gaulin at 905.842.2891 ext 238 or 1.800.768.3030 ext. 238 and I’d be happy to take your order over the telephone or in person here at the Foundation. We will also be selling tickets at the Oakville Purina Walk for Dog Guides on Saturday, September 24th at 152 Wilson Street in Oakville. |
