Seems cute. I get the feeling that it's not for me though, since it's a "feel good" movie and thus has no real conflict that I can see.

It feels like just another Hallmark Movie. Homeward Bound seems more entertaining.

This looks awesome. Reminds me of a mixture of the three great movies like Fluke, Marley and me, and Homeward bound all mixed into one movie. I am so going to see this movie. Also that part where I paused the video right as the dog shoves his nose up the girls skirt. >_< Priceless pause. Thanks for sharing it. We need more dog movies anyways. Hollywood hasn't seen too many. Exception would be animated dogs. Oh if anyone has any dog movies they know of. I would love to watch them. Even non-english for me is very acceptable.

Homeward Bound was one of my favorite movies as a kid!! And I've loved American Bulldogs ever since :P I liked White Fang as a kid too, I should rewatch that one sometime. I watched Hachi: A Dog's Tale the other day and enjoyed that one.

If you're into anime at all there's one from the 80s called Silver Fang or Ginga Nagareboshi Gin, I watched it a few years ago when it was on YouTube but I'm sure it's around on anime sites. The style is super 80s and it is violent, but it's still one of my favorite anime. Almost the entire cast is dogs, lots of different breeds, the main character is an Akita.

Oh my gosh you're a Gin Fan are you a Weed fan too!?? :D I have never found any one I know of to watch and enjoy that amazing show. I'm sorry I am getting overly excited. It just really amazes me to know I am not alone in knowing what that show is! it's one of my favorites as well. I have read the manga's to it too. And adore the stories of both Gin and his son Weed. :) One of my other favorites is Wolf's Rain. I bet you have seen that anime. Pretty old as well. But it's great and has the best English dubs.

I have watched the other dog movies. Hachiko did make me cry a lot. Oh and if you loved homeward bound. I believe there is an older movie called the incredible journey. Much like homeward bound but I forget if the animals have audio or not. I'm glad to finally find a Gin fan! Have a great day/night! :)

I was just about to comment about how this reminded of Fluke!

But yeah, I'm not sure if I'll watch this one. Even if it would come out here, which I'm not sure of, it's not really my type of movie. Cute dogs, sure. But I prefer science fiction. :P

Old Yeller. Classic.

Eight Below is pretty good as well.

OLD YELLER HURTS MY HEART

All dog movies hurt my heart... Except maybe Cujo lol.

I remember when I watched Hachi a few years ago. I didn't cry during the film, although I was very close near the end. I did the mistake of reading the Wikipedia article about him right after, and that just destroyed me. I learned that while he was still alive, a statue was made in his honor... which was destroyed during WWII to make ammunition. In their never-ending thirst for senseless killing, humans could not even respect the memory of their most loyal companion...

I melted in tears in front of the computer. Man, I still get feels just thinking about it.

Gotta admit "a girlfriend replacement or something?" at the end made me laugh. It does have a light feel-good feel to it, but I don't mind that sometimes.

Definitely looks like a nice family-friendly feel good movie. I probably won't catch it in theaters but I do want to see it. At the very least there's some cute eye candy lol.

Oh boy, the same director as Hachi... I can already feel the feels.
