A Man’s Best Friend

By Taylor Holden

Quinn Freidman’s A Boy’s Best Friend is a heartwarming short film set in the pandemic about a small boy named Billy.  Billy is in quarantine and bored, and trying to figure out how to have some fun.  Meanwhile, his dog constantly tries to get his attention, but Billy chooses to ignore his pet. It is not until Billy’s parents begin to argue and have problems that he realizes his dog is important. He ultimately turns to his dog for solace, comfort, and entertainment.

This short film does an amazing job at displaying a beautiful, widely known message: a dog’s unconditional love makes him a man’s best friend.  The music selection for the soundtrack is strong and moving throughout the film. This allows the viewer to experience the emotion of the story in every scene.

This film successfully conveys how important it is to enjoy the tiny things in life. I would give this film a 5 out of 5 stars.
