Something I have never understood...



Why is "Dog" a puppy before he drowns, but is an adult after he is resusitated?

Was the beginning of the movie a dream?

When he falls into the sheep dip (as an adult) he reflects back on his life as a puppy. His reflection/dream ends after we find out how he nearly drowned as a pup (and this is how he met jess, who also nearly drowned being thrown into the river in a sack). His dream ends and the scene ties in with him being resuscitated as an adult by Wallace (after the sheep dip incident.

Thanks for the explanation. I'm going to have to watch this movie again.
