While I look forward to this, I'm confused as to the origin & hope someone will illuminate me.

The only references I can find to a Tibetan Dog Novel written by a Chinese author is a best-selling graphic novel & has exactly the opposite premise.

"The story unfolds in Tibet, where a Tibetan mastiff named Metal grows up in a Buddhist temple after his parents and siblings die protecting a peasant family. His grandfather, who learned the secrets of walking upright and speaking human language, trains him in canine meditation and teaches him about his ancient enemy, the Tibetan wolf. A rock musician on a pilgrimage adopts Metal as a son and takes him back to Beijing."



Sounds & looks amazing - here are the links - the above from Danwei ...

nicomorr: My guess is that's not what they're basing the movie on...

Character designs by the genius Urasawa, eh? It'll look good, at the very least.

Well .... I guess we'll see, it's curious that there should be TWO best-selling Chinese novels about a Tibetan Dog! And both are being animated.

Cool Tibetan (Real) Dog site:

Don't want one of those on your case ... they live at above 15,000 feet also, you'd expire just running away.
