"Dog Gone" sounded and was advertised as if it was going to be the next big dog movie, much like "Marley and Me," "Beethoven" and "Air Bud." However, this movie was FAR from those blockbusters. The acting was decent. But that's about it for this one. The writing seemed like it was written by a bunch of middle schoolers, it was predictable, and it just didn't hit me in the feels like the successful dog movies I listed above. The only part I actually enjoyed was the ending. But up until that point, everything was slow, boring, and "meh" at best. This one flopped in my book. I think there should've been more scenes with the dog itself to get the audience to form that relationship with the dog first. Once the dog ran off, it was hardly in the movie. There were no cut scenes showing what the dog was up to while it was on the run, and the whole movie was based on them finding the dog. While the story of this is true, the movie failed to impress.

" These people are terrible. They made the wrong choices . They are rich and are able to do this" Really? The movie The Titanic has rich arrogant people in it too who made a slew of wrong choices but somehow everyone loves that movie. How about the fact they made mistakes which apparently none on the haters never do. How about basing your review on the movie and not the real people its based on. Its a nice feel good movie that been done a thousand times before. The reason for that is people like to see other people find their pets. I suppose none of you have never lost a pet or anything else that was dear to you. Check yourselves.

As a professional dog behaviorist, this movie pains me. PRO TIP: Don't do anything these people do in the movie. For being such a successful family, they are so damn stupid 😂 The movie feels like a Christmas movie just without the Christmas. Wish someone would make a movie that went through the cycle of successfully training a dog. I use this in my examples all the time but every time we see dogs in a movie or a movie about dogs everything it's teaching people is wrong. For example having your dog walk in front of you on a walk. Or letting your dog decide where to go... stop creating tension on the leash.
