The Cave of the Yellow Dog (Mongolian Шар нохойн там) is a 2005 Mongolian/German film written and directed by Byambasuren Davaa.

A girl learns the painful lesson of letting go of want and desire when her father insists on leaving her newfound stray dog.

While Nansal is out collecting dung, she stumbles across a cave in which she finds a black and white dog.

Her father is worried, knowing that wolves live in caves and may follow its scent and kill their livestock.

In this story, a yellow dog is trapped in a cave with no exit by a man to cure his daughter's illness.

He is upset but still gives gifts to his wife and children nonetheless, including a plastic ladle and a flashlight (torch).

The father tries to sell Zochor to some wolf hunters, but Nansal tells them she found him in a cave and the deal falls through.
