'My Dog Tulip' explores a canine-human connection

The new animated film "My Dog Tulip," based on British writer J.R. Ackerley's 1956 memoir by the same name, seems like a loving homage to the bond between man and dog. So it's surprising to hear filmmakers Paul and Sandra Fierlinger say they hope their movie punctures the illusions of any would-be dog owners who might misunderstand the power dynamics in canine relationships.
