A love letter to dogs

I have been looking forward to the release of "A Dog's Purpose". Every time I watch a dog movie, I cry like a dog, and this time is no exception.

This movie is adapted from W. Bruce Cameron's novel of the same name "A Dog's Purpose". It tells the story of Bailey, a golden retriever who accompanied his owner Jason as he grew up, and experienced rebirth after death, four times. The story of reincarnation, searching for different missions in the reincarnations of life, and finally returning to Jason. The director of the film is Lese Hallstr?m, the director of "Hachi". After reading some reports, it turns out that the director is very familiar with dog movies, and the actors he chose are all dog lovers, so he can express the most sincere emotions between people and dogs in front of the camera so naturally and appropriately. The whole movie has a smooth rhythm, and is well interspersed with touching moments and laughs. Although there is no profound and shocking plot, everything shown is the warm daily life of raising a dog. So, rather than a movie, I feel like it’s more like a love letter to dogs.

The encounter between Bailey and his owner Jason was purely accidental. If her mother hadn't smashed the car window to rescue the dying Bailey, I'm afraid the dog would have been reincarnated right now. From then on, Bailey and Jason became each other's best friends, accompanying each other, playing together, and growing up together. Jason told Bailey about Captain America, played the game of throwing the ball, and practiced the trick of stepping on his back to catch the ball. When he grew up, Bailey became a loyal fan of Jason's football games, and unexpectedly helped Jason catch up with his beloved. girl. It seems that if you don’t want to be single, you have to get a dog first!

However, an accident ruined Jason's left foot, future and love. Having already received a football scholarship to the University of Michigan, he had to give up his ideals and attend Agricultural University. Jason was depressed every day. Bailey tried to cheer him up, but Jason never smiled again.

The most unforgettable part for me was when Jason drove away from home to report to college. Bailey held the football he played with Jason in his mouth and chased Jason all the way. car. It passed through the sheep, ran across the pasture, and watched Jason running hard in a large mature wheat field. In a dog's heart, its owner is everything in its life. If possible, it wants to protect him forever, make him happy, and see him happy.

In his second life, Bailey became a majestic police dog. He was good at tracking, followed his owner to perform tasks, and won many awards. However, Ellie found that her master was not happy, so every night, Ellie lingered in front of her master's bed to accompany her lonely and lost master. During her last mission, Ellie jumped into the water from a bridge to save a little girl who couldn't swim. She even saved her master from a gangster's gunpoint at a critical moment, but she was shot and died.

After Ellie's death, she was reincarnated into a short-legged and cute Corgi. It had a kind and sensitive but introverted and shy mistress who did not dare to express love, so she lived alone. People say that the intelligence level of dogs is equivalent to that of human 4- or 5-year-old children. Tino can know what his owner is thinking every time. "Potato chips, pizza, ice cream..." When the owner is unhappy, Tino will spin around in circles to make the owner happy; when the owner feels lonely, Tino will bring his boyfriend! The scene where the owner took wedding photos with his dog was really heartwarming. If it were me, I would also take my dog ??with me. Because for everyone who raises and loves dogs, dogs are also part of the family, and many important moments need to be experienced and witnessed together.

Tino not only witnessed his master’s wedding, but also witnessed her happiness as a mother, and grew up with her children until she finally closed her eyes peacefully.

The dog in the fourth life experienced a bad owner. After she brought the dog home, because her boyfriend objected, she could only lock it in the yard without playing or laughing. In the end Also discarded. Saint Bernard did not go back, but followed the familiar smell and searched for it, and unexpectedly returned to his first life master Jason. After four lives, Bailey has changed from a golden retriever to a Saint Bernard, and Jason is no longer the sunny and handsome young man he was thirty years ago. He adopted a stray dog ??and gave it a new name Buddy. But Jason is still depressed and lonely every day.

In order to make Jason happy, Buddy actually found Jason's first love Hannah and brought him back based on a chance encounter and memories of his past life! The smile finally returned to Jason's face, and his life was truly complete.

But, is it really complete? Bailey wants to tell Jason that I am Bailey, and I have traveled through three lives and three lives just to find you. So, it found the rugby ball they used to play with and once again performed the trick of stepping on its back to catch the ball. That's right, I'm Bailey, your dog boss, I'm back, I'm back with you!

Seeing this, sobs sounded from all directions in the theater at the same time. Why do I always cry like a dog every time I watch a movie about dogs? It’s precisely because the simpler, more sincere, and more honest feelings are more touching, and the more they are what our hearts long for and need.

Every time I see a dog’s life coming to an end, I feel particularly sad. The average lifespan of a dog is only ten years. For people, they can have many pets in this life; but for dogs, they only have you.

I once raised a Yingka named Niuzi, who was very lively, cute and clingy. When she was almost 5 years old, she had a small fight with an off-leash dog while walking. At that time, the check-up said she was fine. Then one day later, I was going on a business trip, so I asked a neighbor to take care of her for a few days. Who knew she would come back? At that time, the girl actually lost a lot of weight, lost her energy, and even stopped eating. It turned out that she was bitten last time, and the wound was relatively hidden. As a careless owner, I didn't notice it, and the wound became infected... That day was a Saturday, and I held her all day and all night, hoping that she would get better. On Sunday night, Niuzi actually walked to the table where the dog leash was placed, looked at me, and then at the door. This was a small tacit understanding we had when we went out for walks. At that time, I naively thought that she was getting well and I was very happy. After walking out of the door, the girl actually started running all the way until she ran to a bush in the small garden and lay down. I said you can’t lie down here. If you’re tired, let’s go back. So I ran her away. Who knew that as soon as I entered the house, my girl's head slipped off my shoulder and she left me forever.

Later I understood why the girl went out that night, because dogs are spiritual. If they know that their time has come, they will leave home and do not want to die. At home, I am afraid that the master will be sad...

I have been immersed in deep self-blame. While watching the movie, I kept thinking about Niuzi.

Dear girl, if you were reincarnated, would you come back to me? If I call your name, please respond to me twice, okay?
