Dr. Michael, a house-call veterinarian whose gentle touch calms even the most skittish ginger cat, gracefully shoulders his chosen burden: to guide the humans who seek his help through the final chapter in the lives of their beloved four-legged companions. Cindy, his next-door neighbor, is about to face the hardest day of her life. The Passing may be just over 17 minutes long, but its emotional impact lingers long after.
