Do NOT watch Hachi
 

When I was a youth I remember sitting cross legged on the floor of my living-room watching my moms black and white console TV with the turntable on top watching a Saturday Matinée movie as I did almost every Saturday. But by the end of Old Yeller my eyes were streaming with tears and I was flat out bawling. My mom yelled at my brother thinking he had smacked me or something but in reality it was all about a boy and his dog.

I have seen a ton of those types of movies since but nothing came close to the tear jerking ability that Yeller had on me.

Then I watch Hachi today with my dinner and if my two sons (ages 14 and 20) and my wife of 23 years had not been sitting around me I think I may have regressed to sitting on my moms floor bawling my eyes out.

Do NOT watch this video with anyone you want to look cool in front of, you won't be able to esp if you are a dog lover (I own 3). But if you don't mind leaky eyes, sniffles and have a dog to sit on your lap while you pet the fuck out of them, this is a great flick

awww I just got a puppy last month. So Hachi is off the list!

congrats on the new puppy Elli, this would be a good one to watch with your puppy on your lap :)

Thanks Spaz! She's sleeping on my lap now. :) I'll add Hachi to my list then :)

I was touch by this movie. i also have 2 puppy and 1 cat at home.

this looks promising. I tear up on every damn animal planet episode lol

son 14 and 20 and a wife of 23 ???

LOL if that is the case you will be a ball of blubbering goo if you watch this one. I can be kind of stoic, keep a stiff upper lip and all that and I have to say I wiped my eyes several times during this flick..... I loved it!


spaz

LOL wife of 23 years :) that is how long we have been married :thumbsup

Thank you! That picture, I swear, made me laugh out loud

During this movie there were several times where someone in the living room said out loud "I'd like to see a cat do that!" :1orglaugh
