By now, you probably know that I’m a huge dog lover! Well, really, just a huge animal lover overall. But I have three dogs of my own. So I like to think I know a few things about the best dog movies!
Honestly, I haven’t always been this way though! When I was younger, my sister was the first one to really ask for a dog. We lived in the country and often had stray animals come up that we would feed. And because we fed them, they’d usually hang around for a while! When I was in my early teens, I wanted a kitten. A friend of mine had a cat that had kittens, and I really wanted one. My dad and mom actually wound up surprising me with one of them! But he was an outside cat. And I loved him dearly.
It wasn’t until after college that I really started wanting a dog of my own. One that I could have inside. I was planning to move out on my own, and thought having a dog would make me feel safer! At the time, I was still living at home with my parents, so I had to get my dad’s approval. That’s when I finally got my first dog of my own… Cody, a black lab! He was around 8 weeks old. My world was changed forever.
Cody (not intentionally named after me… that’s a long story) has been my rock for going on 13 years now! We’ve been through SO many life changes together. I don’t know where I’d be without him. He’s perfect! And when he was 6 years old, we added Harley, a beautiful pit mix, to the family. She’s my silly, sweet, attention-hog, affectionate cuddle bug. She demands attention and love! And of course, just a few short months ago, we added Waylon to the crew! While I wasn’t prepared for a third pup, I couldn’t say no when I saw him.
Since I am such a huge dog lover… I’ve seen quite a few movies about dogs. And I have to be honest, most of them have made me cry. But I figured I’d share some of the best dog movies (in my opinion). So here we go!
