A Dog's Purpose
The bond between humans and their dogs is difficult to explain though I will take a stab at it here. Dogs are incredibly loyal and humans are attracted to the unconditional love that dogs offer, which is less complicated than that of other human relationships. Dogs give their love based, partially on their breed, on humans who both feed them and give them attention. I think the unselfconscious nature of a dog’s affection, and they playfulness they take so long to outgrow, is what makes them so popular as companions. Dog films are a popular form of entertainment I think because so many people own dogs. Films about dogs tend to be comic, playing on a dog’s natural messiness, (Beethoven or Hotel for Dogs) or dramatic and cut right to the vulnerable emotions of the dogs and the owners who love them (My Dog Skip, Old Yeller). Turner & Hooch is the rare film that has some of both though the finale of that mostly comic film seemed ill-fitting and kept me from ever revisit
