…is to make me cry repeatedly. I saw the trailer for this movie today when I went to see Bridget Jones’s Baby and began crying. And then I started crying when I saw the poster on the way out of the theatre. And again looking the movie up on Imdb.com & Wikipedia. And again while pottying my 17 year old miniature dachshund when I got home (who was very confused, but happy when I fed him a slice of cheese). And I also starting crying while posting this. It doesn’t come out until late January so that’s 4 for months of this trailer showing up. I’m going to have to start carrying multiple packs of tissues with me to the movies.
Oh, my god, no. No, no. Can’t do it. Even envisioning parts of this movie is painful.
A friend who knows me well told me the other day he was going to buy me this mug.
Should I have him order two?
mmm
OH HELL YES !! I can’t wait to see it even though I know I’ll be making a complete fool of myself as I sob through some of it.
Yeah. I recall one along these lines that “Dogs are here to provide humans with an example [of how to be all these good things]… unfortunately, humans don’t learn as fast as dogs.”
Excuse me, the Dane puppy is eating the floor again. It’s like living with a damned rototiller.
I have seen this before. Read it again and cried anyway. It is a beautiful perspective.
mmm, have you seen this website? I might have originally found out about it from here, I’m not sure:
OP, I think I will want to watch this, but only at home where I can cry without having to walk around in public after as a sniveling wreck.
Anybody read the book?
Because of this thread, my wife gave me the book to read.
She won’t even watch the trailer, though, let alone the movie.
Looks like the movie skips “Toby’s” first life as a stray, and goes right into Bailey the Golden.
And in the spirit of the website listed above,
the human dies at the end, not the dog.
I’m bumping this because the TV ads have starting airing for this move. Some of which are highly misleading given the content. It should be interesting when film is actually released.
And now there’s an animal abuse allegation…

The premier has been cancelled.
Well, I’d like the mug…
Is the answer to terrify joggers?
Does anyone else every time they see the movie’s title think of the “special purpose” lines from Steve Martin’s The Jerk, where “special purpose” meant his penis, and thus always think of A Dog’s Purpose as a dog’s penis?
No?
Now you will.
Nah, I tend to think of it this way:
Me too.
I can think of only two movies wherein dogs were a title character, that they died. In both the dogs were shot to death. Shudder
Lasie, Old Yeller, Rin Tin Tin, Won Ton Ton, Benji, Cujo, Snooy(maybe) and several have more then one movie. FWIIW I came up with these off the top of my head fairly quickly.
I thought they had canceled the release of this movie? I saw ads for it last night.
