Jeff’s take

I can honestly say that just based off the fact that this movie is about an animal, it definitely had some good points. I'm a big fan of movies that incorporate animals in the main plot. More specifically, I'm a huge fan of dogs. I love being around them as they remind me of when I was a child. As a matter of fact, any movie where an animal is the main premise is one that will never fail. Having said that, there's something that I'm really getting tired of seeing. As much as I love movies about animals, in most of these movies, those animals are in danger of being physically harmed by someone. I understand that it's just a movie and maybe that should be the motivation that the human character has for wanting to save it, (having possibly grown attached to it earlier in the film,) but it's happening too much in the movies I've watched recently. It is getting to the point where my reviews on movies where animals are present are getting repetitive. Every one I've reviewed so far has had scenes of potential animal cruelty regardless of how the rest of the movie was. What makes it worse in this case is that a dog is one of my favorite animals and should not be subjected to that kind of treatment whether it's a movie or not. The constant repetitiveness of this will result in a drop in this movie's final score. There were scenes in this movie that almost caused me to get emotional and I never get emotional when watching a movie. I would love to have a dog and I would never let any dog of mine even come close to getting harmed, even if the script called for it. I think of a dog in the same way I think of my mother. I wouldn't want anything to happen to her and I also wouldn't want anything to happen to any dog of mine. I don't see dogs as just animals or even pets. I see them as members of my family and treat them as such. For this reason, when I see one potentially getting harmed, (even if it's just a movie, it makes me angry. Though this movie was really good otherwise, the scenes in which the dog could have gotten hurt were too much for me. Therefore, this movie will not fail but it definitely could have been better.
