| User ReviewNatalie OI had never heard of this film before, I think it was made for HBO, but gave it a try and really enjoyed it! It's just a good story with an excellent performance from Jeff Bridges. The film follow Bridges who is a writer with writer's block, and he adopts this dog who was abused, and it shows how they come together. Highly recommended! |

| User ReviewDeb KI love animal movies, especially ones about Boarder Collies! The dog in this film reminded me so much of my Finley. If you own, or know a Boarder Collie, you will like this cute story ;) |
