    i have been trying to find out the name of this films for over 10 years!! this will challenge even the biggest film buff, but i hope someone somewhere out there knows the answer.



    the film is about a dog (alsatian/german shepherd) who dies and comes back as a man (Yes i know it sounds strange but bare with me)



    it shows you the dog in heaven where the "god" is a lion and there is an angel who is a white horse. he is allowed to return to earth as a man but for a set time only.



    when he returns to earth he goes to see his owner (a lady) and the lady has another dog (which she had before the dog died), i think it is a bull dog and it eats the food for the first time since the dog died. (this is because it is his doggie friend)



    thats is all i can remember but i have been searching for the film for ages.



    it must have been about 20 years ago when i watched it and i think it was black and white.



    i hope someone knows this film and can solve this 10 year mystery :)

    A more recent and very enjoyable film with a very similar theme is Dean Spanley (2008) where Peter O'Toole comes across a man who appears to be the reincarnation of his beloved dog, lost in childhood.

    I accidentally happened into the showing of "Jeffrey Barnard" some years ago around Xmas.



    Superb. I am not a big fan of O'Toole but in that you can appreciate his talent.
