What motivated you to develop/create this project?

The chance to further enhance my animation abilities before heading off into the industry. I wanted to explore the sometimes tumultuous relationship between pet owners and their pets, in a comical and farcical manner.

What has been a highlight of your time at Abertay?

The people I have met, and the chance to explore an area of animation I thought I would not be capable of before my time here.

What are your hopes and future ambitions for after graduation?

To continue my learning in an ever growing and evolving medium. Whether through employment or self directed study.
