Shot of men at the other end of the track who wave white towels for the dogs to see and run toward. The men run a few yards; start waving again (seen all by themselves like this; separate from dogs etc.; they look like lunatics--wacky) Next; a man playing fetch with his whippet in a field; as a really cool train goes by in background. Then a nice shot of an old wooden fence with gates open to a yard of a brick building; man and dog come one gate; and the same combo doubled come out the other; and all walk down street together. Man’s best friend; etc. Pets; recreation. FILM ID: A VIDEO FROM BRITISH PATHÉ. EXPLORE OUR ONLINE CHANNEL, BRITISH PATHÉ TV. IT’S FULL OF GREAT DOCUMENTARIES,
