Despite the cynicism that permeates any film about family values, Dog Gone takes great pains to avoid sentimentality. It’s a tearjerker with mature intentions. Read full review

As aww-inspiring as the human and dog moments in the movie are, it is the human encounters along the search that are the heart of the film. Read full review

There’s a lot going on here, not much of it all that interesting. Although you do get to see Rob Lowe clomp around in the woods. And that's something. Read full review

Inspirational cinema for newbies or fervent consumers of this style. It's not that it's really bad but it's not a good movie either. It's just pretty uneventful.

And the professional reviews said it would appeal more to dog lovers, but that's a bad generalization. I have five dogs and IInspirational cinema for newbies or fervent consumers of this style. It's not that it's really bad but it's not a good movie either. It's just pretty uneventful.

Just absolutely no, the dialogue, the flashbacks, the acting, this was at a full blown NO.
