10 Promises To My Dog 2008

Akari is a 14-year-old schoolgirl living in Japan's northern island of Hokkaido. One day, a puppy wanders into her yard, a Golden Retriever with white paw markings. Akari names her "Socks". Akari's mother consents to her keeping the dog but only after she agrees to abide by "10 Promises" from Socks herself. Akari enthusiastically assents and the two begin their journey to adulthood together. Akari finds herself having to overcome many changes and challenges. But at every juncture, Socks is there to provide unquestioning love and support.
