Production
- Filming dates 1980 - 1981
- Filming locations: Lentelefilm studios, Leningrad, Leningrad oblast, Russia.
- Five additional animal tamers took part in filming.
- Three dogs and one cat were selected for filming after auditioning hundreds of dogs and cats with their owners.
- Dogs and cat "improvised" a lot before the camera, so many takes were made for each scene before getting good results for congruent editing.
- Dogs and cat made some unexpected moves during the filming, so the writer, Yusef Printsev, had to create additional lines for human actors and for translator of the animals' thoughts (Lev Lemke).
