FAQ

What Movie Has A Dog In It?

Lots of movies have a dog in them. Think of Disney movies: Lady and the Tramp, Bolt, 101 Dalmatians, and The Fox and the Hound are a few examples. Tim Burton has also created a story with a dog as the protagonist: Frankenwinnie. But that is not all. There are thousands of movies with dogs: Lassie, A Chihuahua in Beverly Hills, Pets, Must Love Dogs, As good as it gets, White Fang, Hotel for dogs... We'd get tired of mentioning them all!

What Is The Saddest Dog Movie? 

Although the answer to this question is very personal, thousands of people agree that Hachi: a dog's tale is one of the saddest dog movies in history. Perhaps these have to do with the fact that he recreates a cruel true story on the big screen.

Who Is The World's Most Famous Dog?

One might think that the most famous dog in the world has been the protagonist of a dog movie. Maybe Pluto, Beethoven, Scooby Doo or Pongo from 101 Dalmatians? But no, the most famous dog in the world is Laika, the dog that was sent into space and sacrificed after receiving her last poisoned meal, since there was no chance of bringing her back to Earth alive.

Why Do I Cry When A Dog Dies In A Movie? 

The truth is that we have no idea why you cry when a dog dies in a movie, but it happens to us too. If we think about it, it may be related to the loss of a furry friend in the past or simply because we know that they are better than us and deserve to live forever.
