I remember reading the book and finishing it in class in second grade and holding in tears (Thank god I didn't cry in school). But then I came home and wanted to watch the movie. Of course, nobody wanted to see it with me so I went down into the movie theatre to watch it on a big screen. I'm a freshman in hs now and I can still perfectly remember the death scene. I remember crying so hard turning the movie off and dragging my mom downstairs to finish it with me after 30 minutes of crying. This movie made my love for dogs even stronger, and now that I've had one for 2 years I'm worried about how sad I'll be if a movie can make me cry. I love this movie, I haven't been able to get myself to see it again since it's so sad, but I give it a 10/10 recommendation for anyone of any age. Because it is a heart-warming, beautiful, adorable movie.
