Ever wondered what it’s like being a dog?

Honey is a 15-year-old fox-red labrador who lives in Edinburgh with her owner and her fellow labrador Breagh.

We hear the slowly shifting sounds of Honey’s world, from her peaceful breathing as she sleeps, to waking and padding around the house, clicking down the garden path, and hearing the birds in the garden while she runs on the grass, before loudly munching her breakfast. Someone snaps her photo as she sniffs around the allotments, gets a tour of a plot, encounters some very excited dogs, and spends time staring into a crackling fire.

She hops into the car for a quick trip, has a walk round the park where she’s on the sidelines of a ballgame, and enjoys a long grooming session in the garden (listen out for a passing bee). You’ll also hear from her many friends including an eight-year-old who has known Honey her whole life, and a neighbour who realises that Honey has decided to give up on her training, even for treats…

Although Honey has slowed in her old age, the world around her keeps going. Take a moment to tune into what she hears from dawn to dusk.
