Eight Below
Humans often say, “Put people first.” Well, your dog probably thinks the same way. Imagine enduring betrayal from someone you trust deeply—a person might feel heartbroken, resentful, or even lose faith in others.
But eight sled dogs abandoned in Antarctica chose loyalty and perseverance. When their owner’s flag blew away, Max risked everything to retrieve it. Over 175 brutal days, they survived against all odds. When their owner finally returned, Max refused to board the rescue vehicle, leading him to find the critically injured Maya.
Humans claim superiority, but sometimes we wish we could be more like dogs.
A Dog’s Purpose
One dog, five reincarnations—a lesson in living in the moment. Movies about reliving life aren’t new (think Edge of Tomorrow or Everything Everywhere All at Once), but here’s a canine version! Through multiple lives, this dog plays Cupid for a lonely owner, brings joy as a family clown, and sacrifices itself as a police K9. Yet, it never forgets its first human. What’s a dog’s purpose? To remember you, no matter how many lifetimes pass. What’s a dog’s happiness? Knowing you’ll always wait for them, no matter the distance or time.

A story of misfits finding family—once you’ve known that warmth, loneliness becomes unbearable.
The Trial of Old Drum
“I can’t speak, but I’ll prove my loyalty with my life.” A classic courtroom drama: a farmer sues his neighbor, claiming the dog Old Drum killed his sheep. The dog’s owner fights to defend him, culminating in a senator’s moving “Eulogy of the Dog”—a tear-jerking tribute to canine devotion.
