What a charming little short.
Sure, the story might not be particularly groundbreaking (Being basically another tale about how the life of a lonely character is changed once he adopts a dog) but it's still a pretty enjoyable watching experience anyway, mostly due the imaginative, nicely done visuals, and the overall gentle tone of the story.
The little "bait-and-switch" twist near its conclusion was cleverly executed.
While I have yet to see some of the other nominees at the same category from the same year, I can see why it ended winning the award for best animated short in 2013: It's quite pleasant, with a cozy feel from beginning to end.
Definitely worth-watching.
