Do you remember the movie “With Me, Mukhtar”? His story began with the fact that a man with a dog appeared on Mosfilm and offered to make a film based on the script written by him. The man came from somewhere in Siberia. The script turned out to be extremely weak, but the dog was really trained just amazingly. It is apparent that a hole was found in the plans of Mosfilm, as the man and the dog have been sent back to Siberia, and the script has been handed over to professionals. Four months later, the dog and the owner were called back to Moscow and began shooting.
The main character - a police officer played Yuri Nikulin. It is clear that the dog did not perceive him in any way, so during the shooting the dog's owner stood behind the frame and gave commands such as: "Go to Yura", "Give Yura", "Find Yura" etc. Yes, and they lived at Nikulin's house, he himself offered it, so that the dog would get used to him. And now the shooting is over, Nikulin accompanies them at the train station back to Siberia and proudly says to the dog’s owner:
Your dog loves me more than you.
Why did you decide so?
So he came to me every morning and asked me to take him out.
Well right. He came to me at first, and I didn’t want to get up. I said, “Go to Yuri.”
