Le refuge de l'amour

It's a good love story. The villian within the story make you cringe with anger but it's worthwhile to watch the movie if you're a Hallmark movie fan.

Good, well known Hallmark actors within the movie.

I was really excited to see Chris McNally star in something besides the period piece When calls the Heart and I was not disappointed...he was great, as was the rest of this cast especially the dogs!

This is the story of a dog rescue center that specializes in military and police dogs, who loose their funding and are being evicted all in one swoop. Thankfully this is a beloved local charity and everyone seems to be trying to help out...except the new owner of their previous sponsor (who is just plain evil and clearly doesn't like dogs).

Jr Stockard the previous owner becomes close with both Bella and a military rescue dog named Indie.

This is a fun summer romance all around dogs and dog rescue. Very sensitive characters are involved in this romance and a search for some lost paperwork.

The main characters are adorable and have great chemistry...what's not to love? I recommend this one to all those dog lovers out there!

I loved the story, excellent writing and such a sweet story of rescue and love. The dogs were amazing and so much fun. Loved all the messages of what dogs can do. Nana and all the supporting cast were great. Brittany Bristow and Chris McNally had wonderful chemistry and such a joy to watch. I laughed, I cried and felt joy! A movie I will buy as soon as it's available.

Although broadcast by Hallmark, this was not made by them. It's an indy Canadian film.

Pretty good flick, taking advantage of all the dogs. I didn't particularly care for Bella, but JR and rest of cast were excellent.

I'm realy surprised so many reviewers thought this was a Hallmark film. Didn't the big "W" watermark clue you in? Plus the closing credits?

7.7 stars.

Although this movie feels heart-wrenching from time to time, and most of the story is sad, much happiness shines through. There is no lack of heartwarming, happy, tender, and cute moments. There are many angles to "A Tail of Love", and one thing for sure is the leads provide a keen sense of suffering, but not the usual sort of pain. JR and Bella share a love that cannot be fully realized because he is scheduled to be shipped off to Iraq, and she is losing her doggy rescue centre. They share a mutual love for a German shepherd named Indie who also needs a new home.

We can anticipate how this will end, but the profound emotional bond that these actors manifest toward each other is one of a kind. The strong desire they express, the basic need each has for the other's heart... I was touched with the portrayal of a mutual yearning each has for the other, more of a compassionate desire rather than a carnal one. This is a film to be enjoyed by a gentle soul.
