A Dog's Life



Apart from watching movies, something else really close to my heart are animals. I grew up having all kinds of pets and my love for animals only grew stronger each day. Recently I watched a feel good children movie titled Hotel For Dogs. However, it wasn't really feel good, in fact it went quite deep, in a bigger picture, the 2 kids played by Emma Roberts and Jake T Austin had a very sad life. They were put in one foster home to another and their only joy is their dog Friday (such a joy to the movie), who they can't declare in open because their foster parents who are rockstar wannabes do not allow pets. That aside, the siblings will con and do whatever it takes to get some money to feed Friday, because of their antics, they end up getting in trouble all the time, but their intention was noble, to feed their beloved dog. Why should the kids get punished for helping a dog? I think sometimes adults should learn a thing or 2 from kids.


Anyhoo, Andi & Bruce were looking for a place to hide Friday when they stumble upon an abandoned hotel with 2 residents, a Mastiff Lenny and a pug, Georgia. They then with help from some friends manage to make the hotel into a safe haven for strays they saved. As usual though whatever good that Andi and Bruce do, the idiotic adults will always make their lives difficult by tracking down the dogs and putting them in the pound. It ended on a happy note of course, but that was on film, why can't that happy ending apply in real life. My dream one day is that there will be "Hotel For Dogs" in every city in the world, and I don't mean just a pet friendly hotel but a safe haven where the neglected and abused animals, all sort of animals can find happiness and love for their remaining lives.. As for the movie, if you love dogs, then it's definitely a treat!
