The Art of Natural Healing - S01

This 15-minute short film was screened exclusively at the Ghibli Museum for a limited time. It follows Koro, a puppy who lives with a young girl in a small town. One day, when she leaves for school, she accidentally leaves the front gate open. Koro sneaks out and begins wandering the streets. A girl on a bicycle picks him up, but he escapes at a railroad crossing. He encounters a friendly older dog and its kind owners, while his worried owner and her father post "Lost" signs around town. Exhausted, Koro falls asleep under a delivery van, and the driver takes him aboard. As the van nears home, Koro recognizes the familiar scents of his neighborhood, jumps out, and is happily reunited with his overjoyed owner.
