A Dog Named Gucci

A Dog Named Gucci
Directed by: Gorman Bechard
Run Time: 90 minutes

Synopsis: He was hung by his neck, punched repeatedly, doused with lighter fluid, and set afire. That should have been the last thing a ten-week old puppy named Gucci would ever experience. His last contact with humans. His final moments of life.

But Doug James, standing on his porch nearby, heard the puppy's cries and ran to help. He scared away the cowardly thugs who had perpetrated this heinous crime, and at the request of Gucci's 15-year-old runaway owner, took the dog in for the night.

Thus began a 16-year odyssey of devotion and perseverance. Together with local legislators, and with Gucci always faithfully by his side, Doug would see the "Gucci Bill" passed, changing the laws in Alabama and making domestic animal abuse a felony. He would witness Gucci go from being a survivor . . . to a rock star.
