We're angry with the boy for ignoring his mother, we're appalled by the way he treats the dog. And then we realize we don't know everything. Maybe if we could reserve judgment like the puppy does, we could be more accepting of others shortcomings. Ours too...]]> 2016-03-10 17:18:58 UTC https://padlet.com/Ora/adjective/wish/100275565 Galit S. https://padlet.com/Ora/adjective/wish/101220797 "Surprised" - I think that the boy in the clip was twice surprised. First, from the cripple dog his mom bought him, and second from the idea that  cripple can actually be happy and playful (dog=Him).]]> 2016-03-16 08:45:59 UTC https://padlet.com/Ora/adjective/wish/101220797 I felt happy. At first the child got angry that his mom  disturbed him with a "present"( a cripple puppy) while he was playing a video game. I felt happy because the "present" his mom gave him caused him to get up and play with him outside.  I think that his new pet will help him to see life more positive https://padlet.com/Ora/adjective/wish/101244294 Ora: who wrote this?]]> 2016-03-16 11:03:10 UTC https://padlet.com/Ora/adjective/wish/101244294 Hadar Komem https://padlet.com/Ora/adjective/wish/101954034 I was a substitute teacher at Tzofit school last week when the teacher asked me to show this short film to 4th-grade pupils in "כישורי חיים" class.
Their reaction was: "hopeful". They explained that they felt that way because that the kid on the film see for the first time someone or something like him, and by seeing this dog happy and playful he felt hopeful.

At the beginning I was disappointed by the child's reaction when he saw the dog. But when the child got on its feet and went out to play with the dog, my feeling has changed into something more optimistic. Eventually, their physically disabled is the one who connects them.

This animated short clip make everyone realize that even if we are missing a leg, we can be perfect and happy, just like this cute little puppy. This pup on the clip only has three legs. He’s missing one of his front legs, but that doesn’t slow him down. It brings the boy out of his shell and helps him realize, that we can be happy the way we are, even if we aren’t 'perfect'.

I related to this adjective because when I first saw the dog I was sad for his disability and I was shocked by the kid's intolerance to it at first. I judge him, I kept thinking about how people should learn how to be tolerant to others- to the "dissimilar" to us. It moved me and I kept thinking about the kid's intolerance for the dog but then realized that he was suffering probably from intolerance himself by others…

Insightful

A number of adjectives came to mind whilst I was watching this clip. The nature of the adjectives that I thought of to describe the boy, and the situation presented in the video, changed significantly throughout. After watching it from beginning to end, I chose the adjective insightful to describe the mother and her choice of gift. She revealed a deep and sensitive understanding of her son and thought of a smart, effective and creative way to help him.   ]]> 2016-03-24 09:07:02 UTC https://padlet.com/Ora/adjective/wish/102552129 Keren Valdman https://padlet.com/Ora/adjective/wish/102558460 In the begining I felt disturbed by the child's attitude in general and in particularly his attitude towards the dog. However, at the end of the clip I felt happy for the child, since I know how dogs can uplift the spirit and create happiness in one's heart, and what a great companion they can be if we just let them in. ]]> 2016-03-24 10:11:06 UTC https://padlet.com/Ora/adjective/wish/102558460 Sigalit A. Birnfeld https://padlet.com/Ora/adjective/wish/102647573 Overwhelming
Throughout this video clip my mood has changed several times. At first I felt amused as the boy was playing a TV game and his mother came in and interrupted him. Then I was annoyed by the way this boy looked at his new crippled dog, but in the end I wasn't only surprised but I also felt so much empathy towards both of them. This overwhelming feeling that derived especially from the looks on their faces, has been gradually built inside of me towards both people and animals with special needs; a feeling that you just can't ignore.]]> 2016-03-24 17:14:08 UTC https://padlet.com/Ora/adjective/wish/102647573 Heli helin1 https://padlet.com/Ora/adjective/wish/102755891 The first adjective that crossed my mind was judicial. I found the boy's behaviour  really judicial because he didn't want the new puppy because he was missing one leg.  Eventually I have noticed that he was a cripple himself and that was the reason for his refusal to accept the puppy.]]> 2016-03-25 18:14:17 UTC https://padlet.com/Ora/adjective/wish/102755891 Abigail https://padlet.com/Ora/adjective/wish/102785712 I had mixed emotions. At first I though of the adjective - judgmental because the boy was happy to get the dog but when he saw the dog's disability, he judged him by it and kicked him away. Afterwards, when I saw it did not affect the dog and the dog kept trying to reach the boy, I felt hopeful. That perhaps the boy will manage to stop being judgmental and see the good side of the dog - a loving, friendly dog. Eventually, I was happy because the boy managed to overcome the judgment and be a friend with the dog and this perhaps makes him feel better about himself and more optimistic. ]]> 2016-03-26 12:49:36 UTC https://padlet.com/Ora/adjective/wish/102785712 Daniella https://padlet.com/Ora/adjective/wish/102795350 Persistent" - I admit that while watching the clip i had mixed emotions and i to was judging the boy and was also surprised to find out that he too is handicap
 but most of all i was fascinated by the dogs persistence in trying to win over the boy and dealing with its handicap at the same time.

i can only guess that that is partly what his mother was aiming for when brining this specific dog for him. She wanted the dog to set an example to the boy on many levels.

for all of the characters that we saw in the video clip. To start with, is the mother, than the boy and mostly the dog. I saw video clip before and it makes me think that if you want something you will get it, no matter what your condition or where you are in the world. life is not easy but if you want something bad enough, you will get it.  you just need someone to show you that you can :) and this is our job as teachers. ]]> 2016-03-26 19:46:19 UTC https://padlet.com/Ora/adjective/wish/102797084 Yehudit  https://padlet.com/Ora/adjective/wish/102817014 I think that the first adjective will be judgmental because of the boy's behavior toward the crippled puppy. I was angry and disappointed but when i continued watching the clip, I thought about the adjective hopeful. I think that it raised some hope that people will overcome the feeling of embarrassment for their disabilities with the help of their friends and peers and will understand that there is no limit to the things they can do.  ]]> 2016-03-27 13:21:55 UTC https://padlet.com/Ora/adjective/wish/102817014 Samantha M m_sammie11 https://padlet.com/Ora/adjective/wish/103050153 At first I thought the videoclip was cute, up until the part the boy took the dog out of the box, then I was upset with his reaction when he saw the dog was crippled. Seeing how persistent the dog was despite the boy's rejection was positive and at the end seeing the boy was crippled in a similar way to the dog yet he got up and they went outside together brought the word optimistic to mind. ]]> 2016-03-29 14:06:56 UTC https://padlet.com/Ora/adjective/wish/103050153 Einav einavsisso https://padlet.com/Ora/adjective/wish/103099737  touched -because i was  very touched by the sensitive  empathetic, intelligent way of which such a delicate issue was brought  up and handled by the movie maker .  The film  brings up different  emotions and   feelings that have  touched me  deeply.     ]]> 2016-03-29 17:22:40 UTC https://padlet.com/Ora/adjective/wish/103099737 Yaron https://padlet.com/Ora/adjective/wish/103317242 Hopeful - many adjectives came to my mind while watching the clip (some of which were mentioned here by other people). However, the feeling I was left with at the end was hopeful. 
Despite the boy's grumpiness and both the boy's and the dog's handicap, they bonded and the clip ended in a happy note.]]> 2016-03-30 18:34:19 UTC https://padlet.com/Ora/adjective/wish/103317242 Yuval B https://padlet.com/Ora/adjective/wish/103724133 Moving -  at first, the clip seems to display a usual kid, preffering the computer game over a pet. The fact that the dog is three-legged only enhances his lack of enthusiasm. But when he eventually stands up, and we can see the similarity between him and the dog, something within me literally shifted. An emotion I could not name. Therfore, I chose this adjective to present.]]> 2016-04-02 09:31:42 UTC https://padlet.com/Ora/adjective/wish/103724133 yahav https://padlet.com/Ora/adjective/wish/103736937  
Emotional-at first I was upset and disappointed by the kid's behavior. After watching the end of the clip, and realizing that the boy was handicap as well I was surprised and emotional.

True (the situation of getting into the media bubble and ignoring real life), cool (the animation itself), mad (of the boy's disgust of the puppy), sad (for the little puppy who can't run and act like a 'normal' puppy then mad at myslef for being sad and feeling pitty as the puppy clearly manages to do whatever he wants and is happy regardless of his missing leg), cute (the puppy's happiness) , heartwarming (for the budding friendship), happy (for them both for finding a friend). 
This is such a beutiful video that captures so much feelings and emotions in such a short period of time. I loved it! will forward it so other people can watch...]]> 2016-04-03 08:09:25 UTC https://padlet.com/Ora/adjective/wish/103756653 Moran Jacobson https://padlet.com/Ora/adjective/wish/103759137 emotional- I felt very emotional while watching the video. It wasn't easy to watch the boy

Kick the dog, but there was some hope for a change, because the dog kept on trying.

Watching how the dog led the boy out into the world again was very moving. I chose this adjective, due the mix of different feeling in such a short time.  �=6!��

But when I saw that the child himself missed his leg I understood the message of the video and it was exciting. I liked the message behind of the video and when I understood it and saw the child's process from being angry at the dog to being friendly I was excited and this is the reason why I chose this adjective.

Not only did it reminded me of youth today and how preoccupied they are with technology so much of the time, but it also reminded me how judgmental people can me. The boy didn't want to play with the dog because he was "imperfect." However, as the clip came to an end I would say I was inspired. It was heartwarming to see the boy and the dog who were so "alike." It reminded me never to judge anyone else because we just never really know what a person is experiencing or struggling with in their lives. ]]> 2016-04-03 21:19:26 UTC https://padlet.com/Ora/adjective/wish/103790799 Liora Zirkelevich  https://padlet.com/Ora/adjective/wish/103880697 The adjective I have chosen is hopeful.

I was also touched to see that the dog made his way to the child's heart and made go outside and play.]]> 2016-04-04 13:17:02 UTC https://padlet.com/Ora/adjective/wish/103886830 Julie https://padlet.com/Ora/adjective/wish/103942744 judgmental - As I started watching the video, I immediately  felt very judgmental towards the boy because he seemed very self absorbed and totally disconnected from theoutside world. As I continued watching, I felt even more judgmental because of the way the boy treated the handicapped dog. However, at the end of the movie, when I understood that the boy himself is handicapped, I realized that I'm the judgmental one. I believe that we shouldn't judge people too fast because many times we get the wrong impression without knowing all the facts.]]> 2016-04-04 16:09:46 UTC https://padlet.com/Ora/adjective/wish/103942744 Sheila Glick https://padlet.com/Ora/adjective/wish/104289370 moving- I chose this adjective to reflect my feelings when I watched the short film, as well as the concept expressed. The legless little child is gifted with the puppy so he will have a playmate to go out with. The intention behind the gift is to make him  m o v e. Also the means chosen best reflects the idea of "moving"- both the kid and the puppy share a handicap which limits their ability to move.   ���t��!\]]> 2016-04-06 06:52:09 UTC https://padlet.com/Ora/adjective/wish/104289370 Adi Inbar https://padlet.com/Ora/adjective/wish/104439512 Inspiring- at first I thought the adjective I was going to chose is "angry", because the boy looked so angry all the time. But...after I've noticed the dog was crippled but still enjoyed playing and was so "alive", and moreover - that the boy was also crippled I knew I had to think of a different adjective. When they went out to play, all I could think about is that it's so inpiring to see people overcome their weaknesses and disabilities and live their lives as everyone else. If they can do it, everyone can.]]> 2016-04-06 18:19:58 UTC https://padlet.com/Ora/adjective/wish/104439512 Keren Gofer https://padlet.com/Ora/adjective/wish/104524684 I choose the adjective whole. as I was watching the video, more to the end when you understand that both the boy and the puppy are missing a limb; I has a kind of feeling or understanding of the meaning of being whole it has to do with the spirit and how you feel inside.  ]]> 2016-04-07 07:34:40 UTC https://padlet.com/Ora/adjective/wish/104524684 Elen https://padlet.com/Ora/adjective/wish/104937761 Resilient: Both the boy and the puppy exhibit remarkable resilience. Despite their handicaps each finds a niche in life, and then works to expand it to new locations and activities. Neither gives up on progress (though I have to admit the boy does make a good show of immersing himself in his video games and closing his space to intrusions).]]> 2016-04-10 19:10:13 UTC https://padlet.com/Ora/adjective/wish/104937761 https://padlet.com/Ora/adjective/wish/106138997 point taken.
