7.5 stars - I round UP.
This is a bit in the Hallmark arena for me (I am NOT a Hallmark fan at all), but the dog was so darling and great, I had to watch it all the way through and I am SO GLAD I did!!
Yes, this is a wholesome story, but so what? I think we all need a bit of this type of entertainment every so often and this movie is a great way to get it.
What really made me a fan was the ending. WOW!
Watch it and enjoy. Have the tissues ready. It's worth the time.

Not quite a 10 but I would Def put this in my list of movies I'd watch when feeling a bit bleuch. And want to feel good. Acting Was good and you couldn't dislike anyone. Mt hubby and adult daughter loved it and got involved.
Face it, we could all use a little good right now and this movie delivers it. I'm a sucker for dog movies and Ruby/Bear is incredibly intelligent. I could totally relate to the under dog aspect. The plot twist which is based on reality is truly miraculous! Kudos to Netflix for doing something outside of their norm.
This is a movie that reminds me of my childhood. Amazing dog actor. Not a CGI movie with CGI dogs. Heartwarming story. It was just rusty in the beginning when the guy was trying to train the dog by himself. Doesn't have a clue. You would think if you were trying out for the K9 unit for 7 years, you would get some basic understanding of dogs. Just my opinion.
This was such a wonderful heartwarming family movie if I could give it 12 Stars I would I love the fact that it shows you you can't just give up on a dog because they don't seem to know how to obey also I am so glad they didn't use some actor dog and they used a dog that was actually rescued from a shelter it was also nice to see the actor from flash play a police officer he did such a great job they even threw in the superhero term this is definitely a feel-good movie for the whole family.
Did you know
- TriviaBear, the dog playing Ruby, is an actual rescue dog that was saved from a shelter just in time.
- GoofsWhen trooper Daniel O'Neil pursues a speeding car and when he drives to the search and rescue site, he allows Ruby to ride in the front passenger seat. K9 officers are never transported in the front seat. They always ride in the canine insert or cage inside the vehicle. If the K9 police vehicle is in an accident, it is safer for responding emergency personnel to treat the handler if the dog is contained in a canine cage, as the dog will protect the handler.
- Quotes
Matt Zarrella: We found the body. We got a tip from a neighbor. Buried under the deck, covered in three inches of cement. It's a miracle Ruby even caught the scent. You made the wrong call. You should have trusted your K9.
