A dog saved my life... when I had given up and hope was gone. A rescue dog that no one wanted and was going to be put down saved my life. God gave me a best friend with 4 legs

[makotohagino]

I am Japanese. I used to have a female Great Den. The time I spent living with my beloved dog is the best memory of my life. I cried just by looking at the preview. He was a really good boy.

[rdandarovich]

Two years ago, I adopted two Yorkies from a friend who had died of cancer and asked me to take care of them. One of them is 14 years old, and for the first six months, he cried every single night, missing his human mom. My friend had him since he was a puppy. The other one is a 3-year-old (now) female that my friend got when she was told she was cancer-free. It was very challenging to earn the affection of both dogs, who had lost their human mom, their home, and moved to a different house with two other dogs. But it was worth it. I have six dogs, five of them rescued from sad conditions or neglect, and they live a good life at my house now. I love them as my own kids!

I was depressed for 2 years after the passing of my dog of 15 years.

Then gradually i adopted 3 stray dogs (each with their own sad story). Now they are lying in my room beside me, sleeping peacefully.
Life seems liveable once again.

As an owner of two Great Danes now and many in the past….I approve of this movie. 😊

When my friend rescued a puppy for my daughter’s fifteenth birthday I was so upset! I didn’t want a dog around messing up my house and my life! But after a week I was hooked! Now after many years I have welcomed 11 rescues some 4 at a time and I wouldn’t have it any other way! I just love all of them! Pets are our angels from heaven!🤎🤍🐶🙏🏻

When I came home from a 2 month stay in the hospital, the first thing I did was lay on the couch with my English pit bull dog Momo and it was the happiest day of my life. I couldn’t even think about how eye felt without me, because I knew how I felt without her.

OMG, I am already sobbing!!! as a teenager, my brother had a great dane, just like Bing, her name was STAR!! she was spectacular, sweet and humongous!! they are family, can't wait to see this movie!!!!

[allisonganoe]

This dog lives in my town ❤️❤️ he’s beautiful

[hestermartin]

I lost my 2nd Great Dane a year ago and he was my soul dog. I miss him terribly. There is nothing like the love of a Great Dane. They are just simply the best. To know them is to love them.

I cried thru this trailer - can't imagine watching the movie but I want to!❤

[prajnachan]

This is a trip for me because growing up, my best friend in the beautiful Oakland hills in this Mediterranean mansion had two white with black spots great danes just like this. I can still remember every time we got there, they would come up this narrow stair case from the garage and street, making it crowded to come down with their tails slapping the walls and us. Hilarious. What memories and incredible creatures. 🎉
Cheers, Bill & Naomi.

Dog-centric films always renders me to tears and yet here I am, excited to see this. 🤦‍♀

[danpartridge]

Lost my Mom in '18 very suddenly. She worked with older rescues and left me with 2 dogs, 3 cats. I'm down to just a cat now. It's amazing how grief can become a binding force. I learned a lot from each of them and I'm putting off seeing this flick because I know I'll be a mess 🤣

[Robinwhiteart]

This is a movie I actually want to see! I have not felt that way about ANY movie in a long time. None of them felt worthy of my time and energy. This one does.

[thinkplanetearth]

2:29 second trailer and I'm tearing up.

[OregonBacon]

My dogs just got back from the groomers... it's one hour one way and takes 4-5 hours and they came home with cute heart handkerchiefs around their neck. Hunter and Hannah are Irish Red Setters, silly fun and full of love, even at 8 and 11, so much energy and their eyes tell it all..

[kristeandreatujague]

They were in St. Vincent together, now reunited!
Yay. 💙

“THE FRIEND”
I saw this movie today and I recommend it for anyone seeking relief from the steady diet of “Super Hero” movies (with explosions galore) that we are being force fed by Hollywood. However don’t be misled by the trailers that gives one the impression that this is a warm-hearted comedy. To be sure, there are some comedic moments in the film, but most of them are showcased in the previews.
It’s warm-hearted but there’s more drama than comedy. Which doesn’t distract from the fact that this is a fine film. Lots of serious issues that make up the human experience are portrayed. Naomi Watts, Bill Murray and Bing (the dog) are great. And (dare I say it?) Murray deserves a nomination for “Best Supporting Actor”. However the film definitely drifts into “tearjerker territory” so be ready if you choose to go see it. But see it soon because the number of showings since its wide release on April 4th have been drastically cut back, indicating that it won’t be in theatres too much longer. But you can also watch it when it inevitably gets streamed.

A fabulous book. Hopeful for the film.
