The Cave of the Yellow Dog is a Mongolian/German film from 2005 written and directed by Byambasuren Davaa, an Academy Award nominated director. The film was submitted as Mongolias contender for the 2005 Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film. It won the 2006 Deutscher Filmpreis award for Best Children's Picture.

The story is a gentle fable about the limitations of life and its acceptance. A small girl learnt the painful lesson of letting go of want and desire when her father insisted on leaving her new found stray behind. However, the ending of the film offers hope - another lesson of life being full of changes and the consequences of change may bring unexpected rewards.
