Chien perdu

The hopeless and drifting son aquires a dog and his fractured relationship with his parents takes a turn when he loses the dog because of his thoughtlessness and they band together as a search party.

The only thing the son proved was that he wasn't mature enough to look after himself or a dog. The parents had to save him from his own stupidity. See, I don't even remember the character names for any of them. Anyway, the parents and the dog saved the movie from being completely unwatchable. The son's actions were exasperating from beginning to end because he didn't seem to have grown from his experience and mistakes. There was no character arc to speak of. I love Rob Lowe and acting, but even he couldn't save the movie.

Decent movie, I mean I cried so of course it's one of those movies that def hit at your heartstrings. If you're up for a cheesy tear jerker and you need a therapeutic cry then watch it. If not then don't. It won't win any Oscar's nor will it awe you with amazing acting. If you've seen enough dog movies you know what you're in for. Also, it's your doggie you can train it and raise it however you want. As long as they're loved and cared for everything else falls into place. My dogs (2 very healthy happy dogs) were never properly trained and they're the happiest dogs. So do and raise your dogs as you wish and give them all the love:)

Did I enjoy it ? Yes . Will I watch it again ? No .

I love dogs - I am a sucker for a true story , so a true story about a dog I can't resist . You have to go in knowing what you are going to get - and just with the title and trailer you should have a very clear idea . It's cheesy , the script is mediocre , there is basically no cinematic value , and at times the main character is honestly annoying .

HOWEVER- the story is incredible , the parents are actually pretty great characters , the way the universal love of dogs is portrayed is awesome , the dog was fantastic and the bond between elf and man was shown with great effect .

If you love dogs and can embrace it for what it is - a family friendly film with a predictable plot and mediocre writing - go for it - if not - skip it .

I recently watched "Rescued by Ruby" on Netflix, and I was recommended to watch "Dog Gone" next. It's a delightful family movie that revolves around a family's search for their lost dog. The movie introduces the family and their beloved pet Gonker. Although the plot was somewhat predictable, the charming cast and adorable canine characters made the movie engaging and enjoyable. However, I feel that the underlying message of the story, which is about how the situation brought the parent and child closer, could have been portrayed more strongly. Despite this minor drawback, I would still highly recommend "Dog Gone" to anyone who loves family movies with a touch of adventure and heartwarming moments.

I first thought that this was gonna be real silly with campy like acting, the trailer on Netflix made it seem like it was gonna seem that way, but has I watched the film, it started to grow on me, for anybody who every has loved a dog, I believe will find this movie enjoyable.

The dog scenes are quite effective, showing a great bond between an owner and his pet. Actors Rob Lowe and Kimberly Williams Paisley are good, has the parents, in which they don't like the dog at first, but quickly grows on them. Also search scenes are also good, showing detemination that shows the greatness of the human spirit.
