5 DOGGY DAN’S
TOP 10 FAVORITE DOG MOVIES LIST
6
As a guy who loves dogs, you can bet that I’ve watched a fair share of dog
7 movies in my life. And while I love them all, there are a few that have stood
out of the crowd.
8
They’re not your usual Walt Disney dog movies, but are geared more for
seasoned dog owners and lovers! The best part…while some of them are
9
fictional, most are actually true stories.

10 Without further ado, check out my favorite dog movies (complete with
suggested audience!) and give them a watch!

2 FAVORITE DOG MOVIE #2 — HACHI

3 Hachi is one of the most emotional true stories of a dog
named Hachi– one of the most loyal dogs in the world.
4
I don’t want to give away too many details as it will ruin
5 the movie for you, but his loyalty was so well observed,
there is a now a statue of him in Japan.
6 Suggested Audience: For those of you who love to be
reminded of how amazing dogs are. Have the tissue box
7 ready.

2 FAVORITE DOG MOVIE #3 — DEAN SPANLEY

3 Dean Spanley is a totally fictional movie, and it starts off
slow; however, once the excitement of the film starts,
4
the story grips you. Without spoiling anything, I can tell
5 you that it’s a classic “anything is possible” movie that
involves an amazing dog.
6 I also have to add in here that I actually worked with a
lady and it feels like the exact same thing has happened
7 to her as occurs in this movie.

8 Suggested Audience: Great for those of you who love to

dream and who want to believe there is more to this life
than just bricks and mortar.

2 FAVORITE DOG MOVIE #4 — MARLEY AND ME

3 Marley and Me is a fun, light-hearted look into the
struggle that can come with training a dog. Despite all the
4
challenges, the main character in this movie is able to find
5 a positive side to the chaos that sometimes comes with
owning a dog.
6 Suggested Audience: For those of you who want to feel
better about yourselves as competent dog owners.

2 FAVORITE DOG MOVIE #5 — OLD YELLER

3 So, this is the one movie on this list that I haven’t actually
seen, but it’s such a classic–and it’s on my list to watch–so I
4
just couldn’t exclude it.
5
Suggested Audience: For those of you who want to go
back in time and watch an old classic.

2 FAVORITE DOG MOVIE #6 — HOMEWARD

BOUND
3
I have to be honest here…my wife, upon hearing that I was
4
putting this top 10 list together, insisted that this should
5 be in there. And who am I to argue? It truly is a great
movie about a dog’s (and a few other pets’) desire to get
6 home to the humans they love.

Suggested Audience:Those who love a nice movie with a

7 happy ending!

2 FAVORITE DOG MOVIE #7 — RED DOG

3 Red Dog is a classic story that really summarises the love
that dogs can have for humans, travel, and adventure.
4
It’s based on the true story of an Australian dog who it is
5 believed traveled across the ocean by ship.

Suggested Audience: For those of the exploring, free-

6 ranging, and traveling types who love to be free. Have the
tissues ready.

FAVORITE DOG MOVIE #8 — BLACK WOLF
2
Okay, so this movie is more about wolves than it is about
3 dogs, but it’s a real-life story/documentary that showcases
the incredible connection between wolves and dogs.The
4
movie starts out with these words that always make me
5 smile…

“There is a code among wolves…honor the hierarchy,

6 maintain order, obey the rules.” Throughout the whole
movie I can see how, while wolves are different from dogs,
7 many of the things that are important to the wolves are
still important to our little dogs!
8
Suggested Audience: For budding dog psychologists
who want to understand a dog’s true instincts.

2 FAVORITE DOG MOVIE #9 — THE CALL OF THE

WILD: DOG OF THE YUKON
3
Warning… I watched this movie when I was very young, so
4
please do forgive me if it’s not as amazing as I remember
5 it to be! It’s a classic story from 1903 about Buck, a
dog who was kidnapped from his home in California
6 and taken to the Yukon where he is mistreated until a
prospector discovers him.

7 Suggested Audience: Something easy going and a little

bit older! Not for film critics.

 1 FAVORITE DOG MOVIE #10 — BOMBON: EL
PERRO
2
This movie is for the more artistic type who wants to
3 watch something a bit different. It has subtitles as it is an
Argentinian movie.
4
I think it’s great because it highlights how we judge
5
dogs by their breed. The movie took me by surprise, and
although I watched it a long time ago, I really enjoyed it!
6
Suggested Audience: Dog-loving film critics and movie
buffs.
