Movies that showcase dogs hit home for most of us.  What makes them so special is that we can easily relate them to our own dogs which really makes the movie more meaningful to us.  We have narrowed down a list of our favorite dog movies of all time!  Do you have a movie that didn’t make it on the list?  Be sure to let us know what it is!
