Clip description
Matilda is taken to hospital, and Mutt is the culprit. ‘In the doghouse’, Mutt is chained up, unable to touch his beloved ball. Matilda returns, all patched up, and Mac, alone, trudges up the hill to milk her. But Matilda is missing Mac’s company and just a drop of milk comes out. Mac drags Mutt to Matilda and the milk issues forth. At sunset, Mac and Mutt return down the hill, with Mutt expectant that Mac will reward him with play.
Curator’s notes
Matilda will not give milk without Mutt’s happy company, and Mac will not make a living without Matilda’s milk. The sequence shows how dependent Mutt, Matilda and Mac are on each other.
