The Executive Producers hired a local artist and creative person to complete the creative idea and storyboard the concept locally.</H1> <p><br id="internal-source-marker_0.1846610566135496"> Executive Produced and written by Gershon Horowitz M.A.</p> <p>The main idea was to deliver the content of the 7 laws of Noah in the form of a children's cartoon developed and produced in Tzfat. The storyline poses that there is a world competition for dogs in the world of competition wrestling.</p> <p>The hero of the story is a Shar Pei whose name is Pu-Nim and he grows with each victory to one day represents the USA in the world championship dog wrestling competition. His Arch-nemesis is an Afghan dog who is the champion wrestler of Afghanistan with an evil plots to destroy our hero Pu-Nim while on route to the world competition in Hong Kong...</p> <p>"Thus begins the saga of Po Nim the Shar Pei<br> Shipped away from his home in China far away<br> Bound for a foreign shore accidentally being on a ship<br> Sailing to a place called America which is quite a trip<br> Landing in a city named San Francisco<br> Where lots of visitors come and go<br> Following is the first of adventures of Pu Nim on the roam<br> Trying to find his mother and siblings left way back home<br> We will encounter people and animals and places<br> Having exotic names and tails and faces<br> Join him as around the world he goes<br> Making sure we all have clean toes" </p> <p>With Momma and me with siblings three<br> Life is peaceful and we are roaming free<br> Sniffing and smelling and seeing wondrous sights by the sea<br> On a warm summer day we are happy as can be<br> Living by the ocean is really lots of fun<br> On dry and wet sand you can romp and run<br> Climbing on stones weighing more than a ton<br> Jumping in the water when there is too much sun<br> Overhead we see geese that honk and fly in a flock<br> Then diving down they land on a great big rock<br> We romp our way to the busy dock<br> That stays open all around the clock<br> So many ships all crowded together in the port<br> For containers and cargo and fishing and sport<br> Coming and going to city and resort<br> Too many places for me to sort<br> From the spot where I sat<br> I thought I saw a big rat<br> Or was it just a regular cat<br> Either way I will chase after that<br> Running so fast on the dock that into the water I almost slip<br> Luckily holding on to the edge with a very tight grip<br> Racing from the pier right up the ramp and on to a big ship<br> Just then the ship starts moving...Oh! Oh!...maybe on a long trip?<br> </p> <p>People call me Pu-Nim because that is my name<br> I hardly bark and I am quite tame<br> I live with my companion Gerard and his family<br> We all get along harmoniously<br> My breed is Shar Pei<br> My ancestors are from China which is very far away<br> They sit in temple all day<br> Guarding people who come to pray<br> This is my home and this is my seat<br> I am in a spot that is pretty neat<br> From the living room window I can see up the street<br> Watching some kids rollerblading<br> While others are baseball card trading<br> Another group sitting on the stoop<br> Viewing a basketball going through the hoop<br> In spring season<br> I am glad for many a reason<br> Because we get more time in the park<br> Before it gets too dark<br> To be outside is lots more fun<br> I love to sniff and bounce and run<br> During the day when Gerard is away<br> I have dog friends with whom I play</p> <p>An American Toy Terrier<br> Whose name is Jennifer<br> She is small while others prefer<br> Her older brother Javier<br> Who is a bit heavier<br> And even merrier<br> Wow there goes the terrier from Boston<br> Whose name is Austin<br> With a personality that is great<br> Well mannered and eager to cooperate<br> And my best friend the American Cocker Spaniel<br> Who likes to be called Daniel<br> He is affectionate and gentle and swell<br> And I have never heard him yell<br> When Gerard comes home from school<br> His mother has a rule<br> That before he can go out and play<br> He has to do his homework for the next day<br> And to make sure the work is right<br> They always review it at night</p> <p>Sometimes we go to the usual places<br> Seeing familiar tails and faces<br> Once in a while we explore<br> Places we have never been before<br> On a Summer day we take the train to Brighton Beach<br> This place in Brooklyn is far to reach<br> After walking through the turn style<br> We are on the train for awhile<br> I know we are there<br> By the change of the smell in the air<br> And the feel of clean warm sand<br> Is really very grand<br> To have ocean and wave and foam<br> Crashing on the beach as I roam<br> Coney Island is next to Brighton Beach<br> Getting there is a quick reach<br> With lots of rides and board walks and food stands<br> We can hear music from real live bands<br> </p> <p>Today we are going to a place called the Statue of Liberty<br> This is the symbol of America "The Home of the Free"<br> Given by the country of France<br> As a memory of their alliance<br> During the American Revolution<br> When there was less pollution<br> To lower Manhattan we go by train<br> To take the ferry boat on this lovely day with no rain<br> We are up close next to Miss Liberty<br> She seems taller than the biggest tree<br> We climb up inside her head and look through<br> To get a magnificent skyscraper view<br> This must be Chinatown<br> People say it is world renown<br> Sights and smells are really different<br> Even the dogs bark with a foreign accent<br> The Autumn atmosphere<br> Is very crisp and very clear<br> The leaves are turning red orange yellow and brown</p> <p>All over the country and even in town<br> Trees are preparing for their winter sleep<br> For their good health they want to keep<br> This must be the middle of Manhattan<br> The other Boros are The Bronx Queens Brooklyn and the Island of Staten<br> We are in a big tall building called The Empire State<br> The view from the top is supposed to be great<br> The elevator goes up so fast<br> That I worry my kidneys may not last<br> About one hundred floors go by<br> We must be way up in the sky<br> This view from the top is superb<br> People look like ants on the curb<br> Central Park has many trees in all directions<br> I am exhausted from so many selections<br> It is a big treat<br> Sniffing the different dogs I meet<br> A great looking Chinook<br> Introduces herself as Brook<br> She likes pulling sleds when it snows<br> And has very cushioned toes<br> An Alaskan Malamute<br> Says his name is Knute<br> He is very astute<br> Big and friendly and never a brute<br> This American Water Spaniel<br> Wants to be called Nathaniel<br> He likes to go in the water to fetch duck<br> Even when he gets stuck in the muck<br> But the strangest thing that I have found<br> Are horses going up and down and around and around<br> Carrousel is its name<br> Close to where we get off the train<br> In one spot of the park is the Museum of Natural History<br> For me the admission is free<br> They have such things as a dinosaur<br> The hugest creature I ever saw<br> They also show people from other places<br> Of different colors and shapes of faces<br> such things as a dinosaur<br> The hugest creature I ever saw<br> They also show people from other places<br> Of different colors and shapes of faces</p> <p>To visit the nearby zoo<br> Is what Gerard wants to do<br> I see lots of creatures<br> With all kinds of features<br> Some have a big hose for a nose<br> While others hang from their toes<br> After a meal and a rest we start<br> To go through The Metropolitan Museum of Art<br> With paintings and sculptures galore<br> There are lots of rooms to explore<br> With so many priceless things all over the place<br> I have to be careful not to leave a trace<br> Even though things may be pretty to see<br> Personally between you and me<br> I would rather be outside romping free<br> In winter it is wet and cold<br> My bones feel a little old<br> No one wants to take me for a walk<br> They would rather stay indoors and squalk<br> But wait something is falling from the sky<br> Little white flakes going by<br> There is snow on the ground<br> Wow 'it is all around<br> On the trees and every where you can see<br> It looks marvelous to me</p> <p>Gerard has a sled called Flexible Flyer<br> Of which he does seldom tire<br> He sometimes rides belly wop<br> Going so fast he takes a flop<br> The train is crowded this special night<br> Wow I am having a fright<br> We arrive in a place called Times Square<br> And even more people are packed together there<br> All watching something up high about to fall<br> Wishing a Happy New Year to all<br> <br> Bing bang bash!!<br> Cling clang crash!!<br> Ding dang dash!!<br> Fling fang flash!!<br> No dream...a nightmare<br> Woke up with a scare<br> Bad men from town<br> Breaking door down<br> Grabbing Momma and me<br> And other puppies three<br> Putting us in separate cages<br> While Momma growls and rages<br> Suddenly I cannot see<br> A covering flung over me<br> Frightened and all alone<br> Can only whimper and moan<br> Commentary...<br> <br> PU-NIM THE Shar-Pei is thrown overboard on his <br> way to the dog wrestling world championships<br>In Overboard pushed out at sea<br> It’s not looking very good for me<br> Got to make it all the way to land<br> Where on my four paws I can stand<br> It comes down now to sink or swim<br> Lucky for me my awesome wrestling <br> has made me quite fit and trim alike.<br> pu-nim learns about the 7th Noachide law of establishing courts<br> To decide if the dog house<br> belongs to Emanuel or Daniel<br> the case is brought to the court<br> before the Judge Cocker Spaniel<br> Who sits and decides <br> from his high chair rocker<br> ruling over all the testimonies <br> Is the honorable Alter Cocker<br> pu-nim’s string of victories becomes a media sensation</p> </div> </BODY></HTML>
