A Dog's Will[1] (Portuguese: O Auto da Compadecida, literally "The Compassionate Woman's Play", the woman being the Virgin Mary) is a 2000 Brazilian fantasy comedy film directed by Guel Arraes, who co-wrote the screenplay with Adriana Falcão and João Falcão. It is based on a similarly named play by Ariano Suassuna, with elements of some other of Suassuna's plays, The Ghost and the Sow and Torture of a Heart.

A sequel is confirmed for 2024, with Matheus Nachtergaele and Selton Mello reprising the roles of João Grilo and Chicó, respectively.[2]
