lol.....the movie and books are in the perspective of a dog, so he thinks since his owner always says his name three times that it is his name. I was very impressed how well the author was able to show the percpective of a dog. There is also a sequel called "A Dogs Journey"; book only. If you like reading, read the books before the movie as so much better.

The Dog Master was a excellent book on how they think the dog came to be!
I've seen Marley and Me and such a sad story. I've been meaning to get the book....well I did, but guess I ordered the kids version. The other dog movie (true story) was called "Hachiko" that really got to me.
I won't even lie man....I did the other night. I had a argument with the wife and was sitting there all sad and Bubba came limping over knowing I was sad and I totally lost it how he is there for me, yet he has no clue he is dying. In end he is sick and still is more worried about me
