Who’s looking forward to this movie? I can’t decide. I loved Milo Ventimiglia in “This is Us”, and of course I love dogs, but I’m betting I’ll need at least 3 tissues. Your thoughts?
Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!

A Dog’s Way Home
Another movie to add to your must see list. It hits theaters January 11th.
Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!
A Dog’s Purpose
The book was excellent, and I was going to give high recommendations about seeing the movie, but now I am seeing horrible things about how the dogs were treated during filming.
Apparently, they were forced to perform dangerous stunts such as jumping into a fast-moving river. The German Shepherd, in particular, was filmed flailing desperately while trying to avoid the water, but was forced to get in anyways. The production company is saying they will investigate; meanwhile, animal activists are recommending a boycott.
I know for sure I don’t have all the facts, so I am trying to decide. I know the movie will be excellent, but I certainly don’t want to support animal cruelty. Such a quandary.
Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!
A Dog Named Gucci
I came across this after the fundraising drive had ended, so I don’t have a current status. If you know more, please give us an update in the comments.
In brief, here’s the story: a 10-week old Chow-Husky puppy was horrifically abused and set on fire, but was then rescued by a man named Doug James, who nursed the dog back to health and took him into his home, where they lived together for the next 16 years.

TiVO Alert: Hachi comes to Hallmark
Don’t forget to set your DVR if you won’t be home this evening. Hachi: A Dog’s Story will be on the Hallmark Channel tonight at 8 pm Eastern. This touching movie is loosely based on the true story of Hachiko, a loyal Akita who waited for his professor dad at a Japanese train station each day. The new Richard Gere take on the story is an excellent movie, and if you missed it in theaters, you might want to check it out.
Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!
Hachi DVD is now out
I posted several months ago about the movie being made with Richard Gere about the story of Hachi, but I never saw it come out in theaters. Maybe it premiered to less-than-favorable crowds and wasn’t shown in my area, but I saw a commercial last night stating that the DVD and Blue-Ray disc are now available.
Hachi: A Dog’s Story
I’m not sure when this is due out, but Richard Gere is now publicizing his new movie, called “Hachi: A Dog’s Story”. I don’t know whether this is based on a true story or on an urban legend, but the Japanese feel very strongly about the dog known as Hachiko.
