Beautiful, funny, heartwarming film depicting how canines can truly bond with their human companions. While viewing this film, I remembered well the *many* wonderful dogs that have been a part of my life through the decades, my favorite being an amazing black Labrador with golden feet. Where have I been that I never saw this movie until now? Truly enjoyed the great script and performances that made Marley and Me come alive. Definitely a shout-out to a kinder, more idealistic world.
