Yep, I only saw the last part of My Dog Skip and knew I'd never watch it from the beginning, no matter how good the movie was. I'd heard rumors of Hachi: A Dog's Tale and you've confirmed them for me, gb. I appreciate it. Hate movies like that where the dog gives his everything and then dies. I've had enough of that in real life. I've heard the same rumor about Marley and Me---won't watch it. I Am Legend, with Will Smith...I had a feeling when I saw the German Shepherd on the poster but I wanted to see it because of the story which I'd seen in two previous movies and liked. But they didn't have a dog in them, this one did, and it turned out my suspicion was right. He was only there as a sacrifice to jerk our emotions around. The movie wasn't great, but I was pissed when the dog died and watched the rest in an angry blur. The only one that I would actively watch with the dog's death again is Old Yeller because it was handled very well, and well, the dog saved his family and turned rabid and had to be put down. Then it was found out he had sired a litter of pups, one of which would star in Savage Sam, which I've yet to see but would like to...if he lives to the end. Oh yeah, and the first John Wick I'd watch again because the dog is the whole catalyst for John Wick to go on his killing spree.
