    A really good heartwarming but sad story of a teenage girl Akari who gets a female golden retriever whom she christens Socks. The story chronicles Socks' story from playful puppy to faithful companion who sticks with Akari through thick and thin until the inevitable happens when ...( read more)Socks grows old and passes away. By the end I was sobbing my eyes out - it's that kind of movie that touches you, even more so if you've got a pet dog. It's a reminder that dogs are members of the family and you should treasure the time you have with them and your family before it's too late.

    a moving story about a girl and her dog throughout the years. I actually teared up at the end of this one.

    This movie made me cry... a little bit... just a sympathy for the dog's cuteness. I'm not saying you should watch this.

    A simple story with a lot of promise (no pun intended), but unfortuantely sacrificed alot of emotion and believability for the sake of marketing the film around family entertainment. The story becomes outrageous, clichéd and simply daft with alot of holes stripping away any credi...( read more)bility the movie may have wished to claim.

    Ironically, the film preaches 'treat the dog like you would a human', which a dog trainer would tell you; is bad practice and often makes an unruley pet. :P
