My Name is Mitzi is a mostly true biographical novella from the point of view of a small mixed breed dog named Mitzi. Her story was interpreted, then translated and written into English by her human, Frank J. Kopet. It covers some of the highlights of her first two years starting with her birth, her adoption by Mom and Dad Kopet, and a few growing up vignettes. Pictures of Mitzi, her biological family, and adopted family, are integrated within the documentary.
