I really enjoyed the movie, it was warm, funny and touching, just like our furry friends. It's for present and past dog owners.

It was a heartwarming family movie that reminds you why dogs make our lives better.

Unfortunately because of the recent controversy regarding the movie and animal cruelty my 22 year old daughter who buys only from companies who do no animal testing and is vegetarian did not want to go see this movie and as a consequence nor did I

I loved this movie from start to finish! I will definitely be seeing it again just to catch anything I might have missed the first time round. I do truly believe that each and every dog does indeed have a purpose and I love the way each dog was portrayed as to what their true calling was. You see, I myself lost my first dog just a short time ago. Shortly after I first adopted her I discovered she had the amazing skill of detecting when my blood sugar was low (although I did not know it until she woke me up the first time and many times after) The cast (dogs as well!) were all exceptionally well cast. The "passing" of each dog and "returning" as another was very tastefully done. I believe this movie would be enjoyed by all family members. Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could indeed have our best friends return to us time and time again-Bravo on a wonderful movie!

The movie was heart warming coming from a dogs point of view it gives us a look in a different perspective and makes us think a little differently. Make sure to bring lots of tissues!

I loved this movie! It was funny, exciting, sad and very touching. It made me cry and I could hear other people in the audience sniffling around me. Even though it had these sad moments, it made me thankful for all the love I've received from all my dogs, over the years. After the movie, I couldn't wait to get home and snuggle with my beautiful friend and companion, Maggie. See the movie - you'll love it!

This film was made from the best seller book A Dog's Purpose and yes the film is like a best seller. The movie focus on life from a dog's perspective. It was heart felt and entertaining, making you think at the same time.The dog has many lives and all of them show love never ends.True friends are always with us, even when they leave. I truly enjoyed seeing this film. Thank you!
