    I laughed, I cried and I truly felt for the dog. The title was well chosen because I looked for his purpose in every life, and he had one. He brought joy and love to everyone whose life he was in, and it was that dog in every iteration had a beautiful purpose.

    I really enjoyed this movie. My 7yr old granddaughter loved it too and I think it was a way to give her an extra lesson about why and that animals also have to die but softened the reality by having the dog return in different forms and needs. It is always good to make and be able to see family rated animal movies as everyone can relate to the good feelings one receives from observing animals and especially from dogs. Great movie!!! Thanks for the opportunity to allow us to see it.

    I really enjoyed this movie. I took my 12 year old daughter and we both cried several times through out the movie. Not only does it show the different lives that dogs have, it also shows their owners different lives. If you can relate to "Man's Best Friend" then you will feel the joys and hardships of this dog.

    This is a movie that will pull at your heart strings. It brings you back to your childhood where you had a special dog that you just loved. One that you had hoped would never leave you and would be by your side when you went through all the changes in your life. This is the perfect movie to see with your family. When you leave the movie theater you will leave with a big smile on your face thinking once again of that dog you loved so much growing up and hoping that this story could have been about you and your dog.

    It was great. How could you not like this movie? It moved along, never boring, and the dogs voice was just perfect and many funnie moments to enjoy. The tears were rolling down our cheeks like crazy.

    Very interesting movie -- utilizing an animal, viz a dog instead of a human relevant to the mystery of life, the existence of all life forms on earth, its purpose which has intrigue humanity through the ages since time immemorial and the belief in reincarnation of the varied human religion on earth.

    It was a wonderful movie. One to be enjoyed by the whole family. A little sad at times, but it was wonderfully written! What an idea! I think my wife & I will enjoy seeing it again and recommend it to our family & friends. It was well worth the 100km trip to Ottawa. I don't know why Cineplex in Brockville is not on your contest list, it's only 25km away!
