It's no longer available in my country! That's a load of scrap. 5 * because I've seen it before and almost friggin cried. Please bring it back.

This movie and story is one of the absolute best gifts given to society to society today. It showcases what love, devotion and commitment truly is. It's an emotional movie and has the ability to soften even the hardest of hearts. If your not a dog lover now, you will be by the end of the movie. ♥
