Old drama anime about a dog and a kid I watched this anime when I was a kid. It was really old anime, probably 15 years ago. I remember very little about it but here it goes:


It's a drama anime. I remember it was very sad story.
I think this kid is a boy. He lives alone, probably orphan.
His guardian, maybe parent, father or uncle died protecting him (not really sure about this one)
This kid has a dog, and most likely a monkey, and probably has another pet but I can't remember about it.
I think later on this series, one of his pet died or got an accident, probably the dog.
As far as I remember, it was TV series, not movie. It aired long before Rorouni Kenshin in my local TV station.


That's all I can remember right now.
Nobody's Boy Remi fits quite well. It's a drama anime from 1977 and is indeed very sad.



At around the midway point in the series, his guardian dies along with several of his animals, leaving him to fend for himself. He is always accompanied by his loyal dog Capi and has a monkey named Joli-Cœur. Hulu Plus has the complete series if you're a subscriber.

The anime was remade in 1996 as Nobody's Girl Remi (switching the gender of the main character), but it isn't as highly regarded.
