Every dog has its day--not your ordinary account of a pilgrimage. That lovable mongrel, Pecorino, who has enjoyed a successful career as an international photo model, now follows in the footsteps of St. Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of animals. Equipped with pilgrim passport and provisions, he begins his pilgrimage at the beach of Rimini. Over twelve eventful days, he travels over hill and dale, taking in wonderful landscapes along the way. Along this 300-kilometer path over the Appenine Mountains, Pecorino thinks back on the highlights of his professional career, as well as privately recalling personal hardships from his past. He reflects on his relationship to humankind and arrives at surprising insights. Do dogs go to heaven too? This four-legged pilgrim makes for an amusing and humorous travel companion on the path towards Assisi.
