Happy is very sad. His master didn't wake up today. Who will feed Happy? Who will take care of him? Follow Happy on his frustrating adventures in search of a new companion -- and food -- as he is led to a new and unexpected destiny by Eleanor Roosevelt and Eddie Haskell.

In Begleiter, Happy, an orphaned dog in search of a new master, finds a kindred spirit in Marion (Aleisha Russell), a lonely woman still pining for the man who left her three months ago. But Marion and Happy's new bond is quickly broken when Marion's ex-boyfriend, Nick (Brian Taraz), returns. Her betrayal is too much for Happy and he decides to take matters into his own paws. Will he find fulfillment in his new life?

A clever twist on the classic 1987 German film "Der Himmel über Berlin" by Wim Wenders, this magical film festival hit from first-time director DAN MARGULES features a rare guest appearance by KEN OSMOND of TV's "Leave it to Beaver" and an original score by famed Weather Report drummer ALPHONSE MOUZON. Begleiter also stars John Henry Litten in his screen debut and a championship Rhodesian Ridgeback named Spencer in a heartwarming performance that will be cherished by dog lovers everywhere!
