Abby's List: A Dogumentary

This was absolutely a magnificent movie. It was a tribute to a dog that will remind you of just how much space your own pet takes up in your heart. Mark did a spectacular job weaving together the story of Abby and their remarkable road trip adventure. It's incredible that he was able to do this as sort of a one-mand band. Abby's facial expressions, Mark's humor, the unexpected guests and twists along the way stole our hearts. If you love road-tripping, you love animals and you love watching a movie where in the end you are forever changed (for the better) you will marvel at Abby's List. There is not a pet in the world who won't be treated like royalty at the end of their lives after watching this movie. Bravo!!!

One of the best indie documentaries I've seen in the last few years! Great storyline, soundtrack and just overall production quality is excellent. If you like traveling stories this is for you. Not just a movie about a pet in their later years on its bucket list (interesting in itself) but an inspiring, introspective journey that walks all of us through that path together with the desire of wanderlust. Along the way we meet sites and celebrities as well which makes it just fun. It looks like this documentary has already won numerous awards and I can see why. Great movie to watch with your family and furry pets!

Abby's List is a heartfelt, deeply moving film that reminds us just how much our dogs mean to us-and how profoundly they shape our lives. In this tender "dogumentary," Mark sets out on a cross-country road trip with his aging dog, Abby, as they check off the ultimate canine bucket list. But this film is about so much more than playful adventures and picture-perfect moments. It's a raw and beautiful journey about love, loss, and the courage to fully embrace each day, even when you know time is short.

As Mark and Abby travel together, the film becomes a tribute not just to the bond between a man and his dog, but to the universal experience of facing goodbye with grace. Their connection-built over more than a decade-is visible in every glance, every shared sunrise, every tail wag. And through it all, they remind us that while we can't stop time, we can choose how we spend it.

Abby's List draws you in from the first frame and doesn't let go. It inspires you to live fully, love deeply, and to cherish every day with those who matter most-whether they have two legs or four. Abby will tug at your heart, and her story will stay with you long after the credits roll.

As a classmate of Mark's in high school, I've been eagerly awaiting this film. As a pet owner in the past, I know how hard those last days can be. The fact that three weeks became three years is beyond special. The authenticity, rawness, love, stories and sadness are all magical... and you just can't miss Abby pee-ing on the world's largest tree!!

What starts as a series of almost home movies blossoms into an increasingly intimate story. Having grown up in Columbus, it is great to see Jack Hanna woven into the story. At the end of the day, this movie isn't based on a true story. It is a true story. A story seen through not only Mark's eyes but his dog, Abby's, too.

Absolutely delightful film! There were so many funny, adorable, and touching moments - we saw it first in the theatre, and I look forward to streaming it again (and again!). If you've ever loved a dog, this "dogumentary" is a can't-miss, must-see.

You will fall in love with Abby the whippet, Mark her owner, and the great guest stars! Each segment was more fun than the last, and some were very moving. You get the general idea quickly, but it's not at all predictable!

The story telling and production values far exceeded my expectations for an indie; it's easy to see why it's won so many awards! Make the time to watch this one and tell your animal-loving friends... They'll be glad you did!
