The dog who dared to dream

This is the story of a dog named Malliaroula. Born in Parakatia, due to her special appearance, she spends most of her time in the sunny yard of her owner's house. Malliaroula has dreams and aspirations, just like all of us. But every winter, dark clouds descend and Malliaroula is faced with trials that she must overcome. Through the clouds, and even further beyond the gates of her owner's yard, lies the possibility of friendship, motherhood and happiness - all of these are out there waiting for her, if only Malliaroula can keep them, bring them home and show us that life itself is the most exciting adventure we will ever experience.
