Viewing Notes

Considering that the pair did 100 missions together I guess I expected a little more focus on their heroic efforts. Maybe the work of a bomb sniffing dog isn’t all that glamorous but it felt like it warranted a little more time.

That aside, this is what you expect it to be; a heartwarming tearjerker of a movie. I suppose it’s no surprise to see the military treat its canine war veterans suffering from PTSD with the same lack of care they seem to treat human veterans with.
