New Owner

The Last Great Hunt

From the creators of The Adventures of Alvin Sputnik: Deep Sea Explorer and It’s Dark Outside comes a sensitive new show for children about loss, friendship and new beginnings. Combining puppetry, live action and animation, New Owner takes us on a world of adventure through a dog’s eyes.

Combining puppetry, live-action and animation, New Owner takes us on a world of adventure through a dog’s eyes. It is about loss, friendship and new beginnings. Bernie is a boisterous puppy waiting to be chosen from the animal shelter. Mabel is a lonely widow, trying to fill the hole in her heart. The day they find each other is the beginning of a profound friendship – but Mabel is old, and Bernie is young – and suddenly alone.
