Ingemar lives with his brother and his terminally ill mother. He may have a rough time, but not as bad as Laika – the Russian dog sent into space … He gets sent away to stay with relations for the summer. While there, he meets various strange characters, giving him experiences that will affect him for the rest of his life.

A coming-of-age story with uncommon depth and sensitivity, ‘My Life as a Dog’ is sweet, sincere, and utterly charming.” (Rotten Tomatoes)
