Emotional Video That Celebrates Life: My Rescued Puppy Growing Up on a Treadmill

I rescued a puppy from backyard breeders and named her Pegasus. Most of her brothers and sisters siblings died at birth or were deformed. She is a “double-merle” and was born with serious problem such as lack of pigment. Most double-merles are born blind and/or deaf and I was told that if she survived, she might go blind or deaf or both.

I didn`t want to focus on the negative, that is why I found a way to document her good days of good health and celebrate her life every day. I start taking a picture of her growing up every day not knowing how long it would last. The result is a pretty amazing time-lapse that spanned half a year as she grew from a 4 week old puppy to a 7 month old teenager. She’ll always have health issues but she’s happy and has the most loving nature.

I am a filmmaker in South Africa. I work a lot with animals, creating pieces that people can engage with emotionally. He has directed his work skills to create a video that made you cry, but with joy!
