    UI won`t be seeing this movie, as there was a dog that was abused in order to make it. Hope that the authorities will use this to showcase that animal abuse will not be tolerated in Canada, and the profit from the film is seized and used for the SPCA, or other animal rescue operations. Greedy, self serving people who exploit people`s emotions for profit, should never be allowed to hurt or scare an animal into submission for their own greedy financial gain.

    Hate that there was a dog abused in this movie - could have been good. With the realism available in computer animation, was it really neccessary to torture & abuse a scared dog to `get that shot`` Producers should be ashamed of themselves. Hopefully the judge who hears this case, will look at overall profits associated with the film, and issue an appropriately large fine, plus many hors of community service to all involved with the abuse of the dog. And since the film was basically enabled with this crime, all profits should be seized, and used to help rescue organizations.

    Hollywood is about money...I enjoyed the movie ,didn't realize what happened to the dog till after I saw it with my 2 boys who want to see it again...How do you explain abuse to animals to a 4 and 5 year old .

    A DOG'S PURPOSE. This is a good film made on a reasonable budget. It's about a dog named Bailey who is given to a small boy who eventually outgrows him leading to the interesting part of the film. The story is narrated from the dog's point of view. This could have been a DISNEY film from my childhood in the sixties but it isn't so the story will be all bran new. I'm not a dog owner and I enjoyed it immensely. So you folks of the dog clan will love this heart warming tale. I rate it 3.75 of 5 stars.

    If you love dogs but have never had one, you will greatly enjoy this. If you have had one or more dogs, take lots of Kleenex (facecloth works good) because this movie will bring back lots of memories - but also gives a feeling of hope. The various dogs were very well trained.
