This story is told entirely from the emotional perspective of Indy, Leonberg's real-life canine companion in his acting debut. Leonberg talks about the bootstrapping production of this project that he made with his wife and producing partner, Kari Fischer, as well as what it takes to make a movie with a dog who doesn't know he's in a movie.
