Over the weekend, Hayley, Jeff, and I saw A Dog's Purpose. If you didn't know, it's based on a book by W. Bruce Cameron. Hayley got the book from the library the moment she saw it. She read it, loved it, and read the sequel, A Dog's Journey. So when she saw the first ad for this movie, she couldn't wait to see this movie.
The movie was cute. It's about a dog who goes through different lives through different breeds of dogs. He lives with different owners, all with different lives. One he connects with really well. Now, I'm not going to spoil anything for you, but the ending is heartwarming. You're going to have to see it for yourself to see what I mean.
This movie went though a problem. PETA wanted to boycott this movie due to disturbing footage during production. Apparently, there's a video that has a Germen Shepard being forced in rushing water. The dog didn't want to go in, but in order for the movie to proceed, it had to be done. Now, when Hayley read about this, she was horrified, so was I. How could they?! That poor dog!
But, she then read that the video was edited to make it look like they were abusing the dog when they really weren't. When Hayley read that, she felt relieved and mad that someone would do this to the movie to get it boycotted, and make people not want to see it. All people want to do is see a movie with a dog narrating his lives; don't ruin it for us by some fake BS. We didn't see the vid, and we didn't want to. We still call the vid a bunch of bull crap.
So, if you're a dog lover, you'll want to see this movie. And don't let people get in the way, and tell you otherwise. You decide for yourself.
