“Hugs Linda. I am so sorry. I think the only bright side is you did find your doggie. It’s worse to never know.”
For those of us who have lost beloved animals — especially never seeing them again — there is a very wonderful Australian (I believe) movie titled:
Dean Spanley
It’s a bit slow on the uptake but worth it in the end. Mr. Fisk, Sr. (Peter O’Toole) looses his dog and it breaks his heart. He becomes, let’s say, unpleasant.
Fisk, Sr. gets some rather odd help via Dean Spanley (Sam Neill) and Wrather (Bryan Brown).
It has a wonderful ending and Fisk, SR. begins to enjoy life again.
(PS there is no animal violence shown, but there is an understanding of the dogs history — depicted very tastefully).
I hope this may help a few FReepers here...
Have you ever seen the movie “The Biscuit Eater”?
I saw it once as a kid, sobbed uncontrollably for an hour, and have never been able to watch it again.
