[Dangerously Amused]

3. Wait. I read about the clip on the site and then I couldn't watch it.

Tell me first; does it have a happy ending?

[blondeatlast]

5. My situation as well.

Can someone post the conclusion with a spoiler warning?

I really cannot stand to watch it.

7. See my reply (post #6)

19. I feel the same way - I have to know or I just couldn't stand it. nt

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

6. I'll only say two things so I don't spoil it.

1). Trust me (I have a reputation to protect on DU)

2). Watch the clip.

Why do you think I put the "group hug" smiley at the bottom of the original post?

[pnorman]

18. Trust me --- take my word on it.

Watch it to the very end!! (No spoiler. Honest!)

4. Did they ever have an update on this man?

I remember that someone promised to care for his dog until he got back on his feet. Anyone know if they were reunited?

[Monk06]

8. Did you know???????????? >>>>>>>>>>>>

That the clown face guy has the same beard as Alexander the Great?

(No Alexander did not look at all like Colin Farrell)

     

Am I right or am I right??????????

9. Wow, just wow.

People are damn good sometimes, aren't they?

12. I watched that special the day she showed it.....

just broke my heart!!
And Oprah's interior decorator, that is talking to the dog's owner,
lost his SO in the Sunami too!
Two victims and one of them also a victim of government! :grr:

K & R'd!!

You ALL should read this at link below, if you haven't by now...
I suspect no one has...that seems to be the problem!

15. Tears..........Thanks for this.

16. my sister has a small dog that she is so attached to that she would

walk out of LA before giving him up, we have had him for 17 years (old dog! she is terrified that he is going to pass on soon) and he was her focus during some hard times when we had some really really bad things happen to us. I could just imagine the reaction of my sister. Im not kidding, she is over weight and has a bad band but she would walk a hundred miles before giving up her dog...

[SammyWinstonJack]

17. I would never leave my dogs behind, never!

[LunaC]

22. I couldn't do it either!

She'd never understand why I was leaving her. It would be the ultimate betrayal that would throw her into a state of confusion, terror and panic. I couldn't inflict that on her...her spirit is just too fragile. I'd stay to comfort and reassure her even if it meant we died together. That loyalty door swings both ways and that was the deal we made when she first arrived...I'd always be there for her!

It still crushes me to think of all those lovingly faithful dogs standing on their porches surrounded by water, patiently, loyally, anxiously waiting for their families who would never return. How lonely, desperate and heartbroken they must have been!

I want to believe that many of those dogs have gone on to find new families to love and be loved.

[SammyWinstonJack]

25. Wow! You are so right there! I would die with my fur babies. They love

unconditionally. I couldn't stand the thought of abandoning them. You are far more articulate than I, but you have expressed my thoughts so well. Yes those poor pets abandoned haunt me as well. They had not clue and were only waiting for their owners to return. So sad.

[Pirate Smile]

20. OK, I cried. If you are a dog lover, you should read "Marley and Me".

It has been #1 or close to it on the NYT best sellers list for a long time. They are going to make it into a movie.

[roguevalley]

24. read "the dog who saved cats' about Ginny, the best dog ever.

[OneBlueSky]

21. recommended . . . (only one more needed for Greatest) . . . n/t

23. I saw this in another post, but didn't know it was from Oprah's show...

I was moved then, and am more moved now.

Thank you.
