Chien perdu

I recently watched "Rescued by Ruby" on Netflix, and I was recommended to watch "Dog Gone" next. It's a delightful family movie that revolves around a family's search for their lost dog. The movie introduces the family and their beloved pet Gonker. Although the plot was somewhat predictable, the charming cast and adorable canine characters made the movie engaging and enjoyable. However, I feel that the underlying message of the story, which is about how the situation brought the parent and child closer, could have been portrayed more strongly. Despite this minor drawback, I would still highly recommend "Dog Gone" to anyone who loves family movies with a touch of adventure and heartwarming moments.

Decent movie, I mean I cried so of course it's one of those movies that def hit at your heartstrings. If you're up for a cheesy tear jerker and you need a therapeutic cry then watch it. If not then don't. It won't win any Oscar's nor will it awe you with amazing acting. If you've seen enough dog movies you know what you're in for. Also, it's your doggie you can train it and raise it however you want. As long as they're loved and cared for everything else falls into place. My dogs (2 very healthy happy dogs) were never properly trained and they're the happiest dogs. So do and raise your dogs as you wish and give them all the love:)

First off, I must say, Rob Lowe has gotten better looking with age. I do not understand the reviews talking about the son being annoying. What reality do you live in? I thought the character reflected many young people who graduate from college and feel lost. The love for his dog was heartwarming. I really enjoyed this movie. Knowing that it is a true story, it restores my faith in humanity. So many good people helped the family.

I think all of the actors did an excellent job. I am totally in love with Gonk. It saddens me that some people are so jaded they could not find the beauty of this story.

An emotionally lost young man adopts a puppy while attending college. When he graduates, with no job prospects on the horizon, he returns to his parent's home, dog in tow. His parents bond with this special animal as well, all while frustrated with their son's lack of drive.

But when Gronk disappears on the Appalachian trail, everything changes.

First let me say our society has changed. And not in a good way. I read reviews on this movie while i was also watching it. Words like "saccharine sweet" and "waste of time". "Pathetic" "its a dog movie". Comments like "there are no curse words even with the biker gang".

I guess these people didn't grow up on Lassie, or Homeward bound or others.

Dog Gone is an excellent movie about selflessness, and a coming of age with a relationship between a father and son, all while searching for their beloved family pet. It is also based on a true story, though we don't know how much is true and how much was "poetic license".

First, since when do movies require curse words to be good? I like adult movies as well but we don't have to ONLY use curse words to show emotion. That is a very limited opinion. And one that worries me. Curse words are used when we are unable to express ourselves properly. It is sad people think we should all curse in order to express ourselves. I also find it telling that several reviewers were wanting to stress the negative rather than the positive. Especially for a movie who's target audience are young disney type viewers. And i mean traditional disney, not MCU (which I love just as well.

And since when are movies about the human condition in today's world (not some fictional world) considered saccharine or pathetic?

And about the "biker gang", a group of bikers in a club does not a gang make. If that is the case, I guess that means i have belonged to biker gangs without cursing.

So if you want a movie set in reality, where the human condition is explored while being interesting an emotional, please watch Dog Gone. Yes, I'm a dog lover, but so are billions of others around the globe.

I first thought that this was gonna be real silly with campy like acting, the trailer on Netflix made it seem like it was gonna seem that way, but has I watched the film, it started to grow on me, for anybody who every has loved a dog, I believe will find this movie enjoyable.

The dog scenes are quite effective, showing a great bond between an owner and his pet. Actors Rob Lowe and Kimberly Williams Paisley are good, has the parents, in which they don't like the dog at first, but quickly grows on them. Also search scenes are also good, showing detemination that shows the greatness of the human spirit.
