This is great stuff people, thank you. I’ve been hit hardest by the elephant reunion, the pug and the little girl, and the two legged dog. I’ve seen the lion reunion before but it’s still very powerful as well. I’ll be cuddling my dogs extra close tonight. Since this mostly seems to be going the animal route, I offer the one movie scene I have vowed to never watch again.
