Featured reviews
I really enjoyed this film as did my children. It was great to go to a movie that we could all enjoy together. It even got me to tear up a little. The Colorado vistas were stunning. The cinematography was beautiful as was the music. I am not super religious so I was worried about the faith elements of the film, but it wasn't too much. Nothing that I wouldn't do in a similar situation.
This is a beautiful, heartwarming, inspirational true story of an incredible stray dog who comes to save a family in more ways than one. An absolute must-see. I am thankful to have accidentally come across this precious little gem in my local theater, as it is only a limited release in very few areas. I cried both times, tears of hopeful joy, abounding love. I took my sister-in-law the second time, and out came the tissues. If you miss the big screen, make sure to purchase the DVD when it comes out, as this is a heartfelt treasure you will want to enjoy over and over and over again.
Great for anyone who loves dogs. The actors are mediocre at best, but the story line is well written. All about how a dog can save a marriage, family and life. This is a family movie for all ages to watch together or for an adult to watch alone, like I did haha. Highly recommend for a family friendly, good-hearted movie about a dog rescuing it's family.
This is a pretty solid movie. It is not as bad as some of the reviews here said and not as good as some of the reviews here said. Although my girlfriend liked more than me. Both of us teared up.
This movie has a beautiful spirit to it. I absolutely loved it. The cinematography is top notch for a low budget indie.

- GoofsForty-one minutes in to the movie, you see Mitch turning the music on a car audio Pioneer MIXTRAX model, which you can see has a blue-tooth symbol and a USB plug on it. That definitely was not around in 1991 in which the movie is set.
