The lonely Martin (Keram Malicki-Sánchez) is a boy confined to bed because of his illness and his only contact with the outside world is through his loyal dog that brings flowers and objects from the streets to him. When his mother questions the actions of his dog, Martin decides to prove his efficiency to his mother and asks the animal to find a friend for him. The dog brings Miss Haight (Helen Shaver), who would be Martin's teacher if the boy could go to the school, and she becomes her friend, visiting him every day. One day, Martin is informed by his parents that Miss Haight died in a car crash; after her funeral, his dog goes to the cemetery to bring her back.
"The Emissary" is a creepy tale of loyalty and efficiency. The surprising open conclusion, with the dog bringing Miss Haight back from beyond to the bedridden boy, is a totally unexpected twist in the story. My vote is six.
