as a recent owner of a large animal, and a big fan of bill murrays more non-standard, emotional movies.. this was perfect. not too sweet, not too sad. complex, yet still manages to convey the basic relationship man has to his dog. i dare say.. classy.

its well written. so much so i cant decide if the movie is about the dog or the main characters interaction with it. i suspect the title is purposefully vague.

music seems to be a background theme; slow, romantic. it flows with the occupation of the main cast as writers... over-thinkers. clearly meant to be the weight on the heartstrings while you ponder the existence of things such as friends.

the humans are awash in their intermingled, messy world and yet here is this majestic beast clearly, stoically working through its own grief.

this is no marley & me. this is more... constructive. almost philosophical regarding an emotional connection to an animal.

highly recommend, especially if you have a [large breed] dog.

im not crying, youre crying.
