Movie starts strong with the friendship between dog and the guy, but after 20 minutes it goes down. The dog is gone when they are walking the Appalachian trail (nice) and they start looking for it. So, you have boring one hour of search activities where all scenes look alike, also the scenery. Quite boring! Finally it all ends abrupt, with a rushed scene. They should have taken more time for this. The dog is great! The 'journey' that brings father and son closer too each other.... That could have been worked out better. All and all it is a nice, easy to understand, laid back movie that gives you a fun Sunday afternoon. But not a movie you will remember.
