A suit-wearing dog named ButtPlug goes about his daily routine, finding comfort in the familiar
while quietly navigating moments of change and connection.
Synopsis
This animated short follows ButtPlug, a brindle poggle dog, as he moves through his day with
calm precision. From waking up on his blanket to eating breakfast, walking through the
neighborhood, and returning home, ButtPlug’s life is defined by routine.
Along the way, he encounters small moments that disrupt his rhythm—a rolling kibble, a
swinging doggie door, and a brief interaction with another dog at a hot dog stand. These
subtle events hint at a deeper story of loss and quiet acceptance.
As the day ends, ButtPlug returns home to find comfort in the familiar, even as the world
around him continues to change.

What Was is No Longer sounds interesting, Crystal Rollen. Unique concept and funny character name, and it has themes people can relate to. I think it's good enough to be a short silent animation. I'd watch it!
