Miracle Dogs

I don't know why there's such a bad review about this movie.

I guess it's each one to his/her own though.

I stumbled across this film on TV and I was moved by the love that's shown in it.

So what if the acting isn't that great? Sometimes the best movies are the simple ones!

Young Josh Hutcherson is adorable in it too :)

All in all, this is a great family film which will definitely hold you to your seat to keep watching it!

I definitely recommend it, especially during the festive season :)

Good Sunday evening with the kids movie. You'll have it figured out in about 10 seconds but don't let that detract from it. No violence but with some pretty silly doctors.

Rue McClanahan was especially good.

The puppies were adorable.

On second thought, maybe not a good Sunday evening movies with the kids if you don't have a dog and don't want to get pestered into getting one.

I seem to recall seeing another movie similar to this one but can't recall its name.

This is a terrific family movie. I am so glad I decided to watch it. I will surely get the DVD. I do have to say it is one of the best that I have watched in a long long time. I wish more movies were like this. I wish all families would take the time to sit and watch this movie. I wish our library had it because I know many children and families that would love to see it but don't have the money to buy it. I found it on our satellite by accident.It is a movie of faith and gives a message of hope. It would be a great movie to have in a hospital or nursing home library. If you want to get an awesome birthday or Christmas present, this DVD would be perfect for anyone. Happy watching.

A beautiful TV movie about a litter of dogs with mysterious healing powers. Great to watch with the kids, and as an owner of my own three legged dog, I had a special love for Annie, this movie's mom-dog.

Although the plot is somewhat sublime and predictable, the cast selected for this film adds a special dimension to the experience. Kate Jackson and Wayne Rodgers seem to be aging well. Stacey Keach shows versatility as C.W., especially for those that remember him from the Cheech and Chong era.

The training of the dogs in this movie is far from ambitious, but apart from looking cute, running down halls and licking faces, these animals of course are the key to a most endearing movie. Want to see great animal training? See Eight Below for that! But all in all, a wonderful movie with a second look at Rue McClanahan of The Golden Girls genre who makes you wish there were more people like her in the world.

Spend an evening with the kids and see this wonderful film.....

This film has a great idea and some terrific actors like Kate Jackson, Wayne Rogers, Rue McClanahan, Stacey Keach, and newcomer Josh Hutcherson (who has since starred in Little Manhattan, Bridge To Terabithia, and several others). The idea is about a boy who has to give away some puppies, and in the meantime when the puppies (or their mother) visit hospital patients, the patients miraculously get better. The reason I only give it 8 stars is that the film doesn't stay focused on that idea and follow individual stories for each puppy & patient, but gets sidetracked with other characters like a doctor (Wayne Rogers) who has little to do with the main story, a janitor (Stacy Keach), and a dog catcher. These characters and their stories are fine in their own rite & well acted, but they take time away from the main theme which could have been developed more and made this a great 10-star film.
