They say it right when they say a dog is a man’s best friend. Dog movies are a treat to watch because they are never quite one-dimensional. Some make you laugh while others make us sit with a box of tissues nearby, just like you need a dog as your best friend, a dog can also give you a good cry. Here are 5 movies you should watch if you are a dog lover:
- Marley and Me: A married couple decides to adopt a dog instead of having babies. The dog turns out to be a disobedient and notorious one, eventually being called, ‘world’s worst dog’ who ends up teaching the family lessons about love and life. If you have a white furry ball waiting for you back at home this will be one hell of a teary-eyed ride for you.
- 101 Dalmatians: This film is a live-action adaption of Walt Disney’s animated 1961 film of the same name. An evil fashion designer abducts the 101 Dalmatians in order to make an extravagant coat of fur which ends up in total chaos. The film is a fresh and funny adaption of the 1961 animation.
- Hachiko – A dog’s tale: ‘Hachiko’ is a real-life story about a dog who waited 10 years for his master’s return at the Shibuya station. A statue was made in front of the station in his memory. ‘Hachiko’, is till now considered one of the best dog movies ever made that will make one cry buckets.
- Benji: Two school kids strike up a friendship with an orphaned puppy named Benji. When danger befalls them and they end up kidnapped by robbers who are in over their heads, Benji and his scruffy sidekick come to the rescue. When someone said if there is anyone who loves you more than themselves, it is a dog, they were probably right.
- A Dog’s Purpose: ‘A Dog’s Purpose’ is a 2017 comedy-drama film that tells the story of a dog who is looking for his purpose in life through different lifetimes and owners.
