    Pity about the grammar

    'War Dogs and Me' would have been correct English. I accept that the main subject of the film is not English but surely the producers of the film could have avoided this cringeworthy error. I imagine the film would be both excellent and interesting but I cannot bring myself to watch it.

    I accept that all languages evolve. 'CRINGEWORTHY' is hardly a word that would have been found in correct English usage but confusing the use of 'I' and 'me' is pure ignorance.

    As for a man's love for his dogs, I can certainly empathise completely. Were I to find myself in the same situation I would rather die than leave my little Border 'Terrorist' behind!

    Fantastic and Inspirational Documentary

    A very emotianal and great dynamic film where an adventurous person called Kobus Oliver is with his four dogs that he loves most in the world. He is in Ukraine where the war has started with Russia. It's scary for him and his beloved dogs as they face many death situations but they always come out stronger with more experience even more ambitious to get out of Ukraine safe and alive. This documentary really shows us that there is hope no matter what the situation is and is likely going to inspire people around the world.

    Overall the scenery was great, there was a lot of suspense/action which was very entertaining and finally the movie comes to a great ending.

    This real life story of love, hope and faith is one of the most inspirational stories I have ever watched. As Olivier says, where there is love, miracles happen. I give it a 10 out of 10.

    love of dogs

    The indomitable spirit of this man and his desperation to ensure his and his dogs' safety is heartwarming and uplifting, especially as the war in Ukraine still wages on today.

    I know I could never in a million years leave my dogs and cats behind. It's heartbreaking that many people had to do just that in the end. Humans suffer in war, but the silent suffering of our pets and other domestic animals is hardly acknowledged as humans set about destroying and laying waste to civilisation as we know it.

    The fact that he made it out safely with all four dogs is reason alone to award this little film 10 stars.
