    A Dog of Flanders

  • 00:09

    Once upon a time, a boy named Nello lived with his grandfather in Flanders, in Northern Belgium.

  • 00:16

    One day, a merchant was beating an exhausted dog in the street.

  • 00:23

    You will make me late for the market, and I will lose money! Hmph!

  • 00:30

    What are you doing now!? Get up at once! At once, I say!

  • 00:35

    Finally the merchant realized the dog was too weak to go on and left him out in the street to die.

  • 00:41

    At that moment, Nello saw him lying there.

  • 00:44

    Oh, Grandpa, look at that poor dog. Come quick!

  • 00:49

    What is it? Oh…

  • 00:55

    Look, he is still alive. Poor thing…

  • 00:59

    Let’s take him home, Nello.

  • 01:02

    OK.

  • 01:05

    Nello took the dog home and named him Patrasche.

  • 01:10

    The house was poor and humble, but to Patrasche it was heaven.

  • 01:18

    To me, Patrasche!

  • 01:21

    Woof!

  • 01:25

    Hey, that tickles! Oh, Grandpa! You’re home!

  • 01:29

    Woof! Woof!

  • 01:33

    Nello’s grandfather delivered milk for a living, and they could barely make ends meet.

  • 01:38

    They were very poor, but they were happy together.

  • 01:46

    By the time Nello had turned six,

  • 01:48

    his Grandfather was too weak to work and couldn’t get out of bed.

  • 01:55

    Oh...

  • 01:58

    Cough.. Cough..

  • 02:05

    It’s okay, Grandpa. I can deliver the milk from now on.

  • 02:11

    You can’t…you’re only six…you’re too young…

  • 02:16

    I’ll be alright. I have Patrasche to help me. We will deliver the milk together, right Patrasche?

  • 02:27

    Woof!

  • 02:28

    Ha ha! See? Ha ha ha!

  • 02:36

    Milk! Your milk is here!

  • 02:43

    Thank you!

  • 02:47

    Milk!! Your milk is here. Thank you!!! Ha ha ha.

  • 02:59

    All this time, he had a dream that he carried in his heart.

  • 03:10

    Some day, I will be a great painter, just like Rubens.

  • 03:14

    Woof!

  • 03:21

    But he did not lose faith in his dream.

  • 03:30

    Aren’t you finished yet?

  • 03:36

    Listen, Nello, my father will come looking for me soon.

  • 03:39

    Alright…just a couple of minutes…

  • 03:43

    What are you doing here?!

  • 03:47

    Haven’t I forbid you to talk to that little pauper!?

  • 03:58

    Hmph! He won’t be anything if he makes worthless paintings like that!

  • 04:02

    Huh...?

  • 04:16

    Oh Nello, I wish I could see you, but I must obey my father.

  • 04:21

    I was so happy playing with you and Patrasche and our time together feels like a dream now..

  • 04:35

    I will win this competition, Aloise, and your father will acknowledge me…

  • 04:44

    Grandpa!

  • 04:45

    I’m so sorry…I wish I could be stronger…

  • 04:54

    If I win this competition and get a prize, I will be able to buy you medicine.

  • 05:00

    You will get better right away!

  • 05:03

    Nello...

  • 05:11

    Patrasche, are you cold?

  • 05:13

    Woof!

  • 05:16

    Thank you! Cheer up Patrasche, only two more places to go!

  • 05:28

    Fire, fire!!

  • 05:32

    Oh.. Aloise!!

  • 05:37

    Although no one was hurt in the fire, Aloise’s father spotted Nello in the crowd.

  • 05:44

    You again!! Didn’t I tell you to stay away from my daughter!?

  • 05:48

    Yes..but…I was worried about Aloise..

  • 05:55

    You tried to burn down my house and kill me because I forbid you to see my daughter!

  • 06:04

    Silence! Arrest him at once! He started the fire!

  • 06:09

    Errr...

  • 06:13

    Nello was released soon because no evidence was found against him,

  • 06:27

    Sorry, Patrasche!

  • 06:30

    You are right Patrasche! Why should I cry when I still have you and Grandpa?

  • 06:37

    I mustn’t let Grandpa know I’ve been crying.

  • 06:44

    Woof!

  • 06:52

    Grandpa, we’re back! I’m sorry I was delayed!

  • 06:59

    Oh…Grandpa! Grandpa!

  • 07:13

    You can’t die! You can’t leave us alone! Grandpa!!!

  • 07:27

    But his Grandfather’s body was already cold and he couldn’t hear Nello’s cries.

  • 07:35

    As he carried his Grandfather’s coffin alone, no one came to console him.

  • 07:43

    but they didn’t want to anger Aloise’s father by helping him.

  • 07:53

    Poor boy..

  • 07:54

    Soon the day came when the winner of the painting competition would be announced.

  • 07:58

    Nello and patrashce went to the church.

  • 08:01

    Please...

  • 08:03

    The first prize winner is….

  • 08:10

    The winning painting was much larger and brighter than Nello’s. He had lost.

  • 08:25

    After the death of his Grandfather, Nello was thrown out into the street and had nowhere to go.

  • 08:34

    I’m so sorry Patrasche…I have nothing to give you…

  • 08:39

    Woof!...Woof!

  • 08:43

    What is it? Patrasche??

  • 08:49

    Oh…What’s that….gold coins!

  • 08:52

    Someone must have lost these… They must be very worried….

  • 08:57

    Woof!

  • 09:02

    Nello looked where Patrsche pointed and saw the name of Aloise’s father on the purse.

  • 09:10

    Oh, Nello!!

  • 09:16

    I wanted to give it back to the rightful owner.

  • 09:19

    Oh…my…

  • 09:24

    Thank you, Nello. Come in. It’s cold outside.

  • 09:27

    Oh, no. I’ll be alright.

  • 09:34

    Aloise, I have a favor to ask… I have…nowhere to go in the village.

  • 09:41

    Could you please take care of Patrasche?

  • 09:44

    Oh, Nello…

  • 09:46

    Thank you, Aloise…

  • 09:49

    Nello! Nello!!!

  • 09:56

    Woof! Woof!

  • 10:02

    He cried all night and scratched at the door. All he wanted was to be with Nello again.

  • 10:13

    He got out and followed Nello’s scent all the way to the church.

  • 10:20

    Woof! Woof!

  • 10:21

    Oh, Patrasche!

  • 10:23

    Woof!

  • 10:24

    Why did you follow me? Why…

  • 10:38

    The cold, dark night passed and morning dawned on the village.

  • 10:43

    Oh…isn’t that…

  • 10:49

    Let’s see…

  • 10:52

    Oh no, Nello!

  • 11:00

    Oh no, Nello!

  • 11:06

    Aloise rushed to Nello and Patrasche and tried to wake them,

  • 11:14

    Everyone was deeply moved and saddened by their tragic and pointless deaths.

  • 11:18

    Suddenly, a painter said:

  • 11:20

    Oh, isn’t this that boy from the painting competition!?

  • 11:24

    I was very impressed with his work…

  • 11:27

    I have been looking for him to take him on as a student!!

  • 11:32

    Forgive me, Nello!

  • 11:37

    I am so sorry!

  • 11:42

    Nello...

  • 11:45

    The people gathered around the bodies of Nello and Patrasche,

  • 11:48

    who would never wake again, and prayed that their souls would rest in peace.
