I'm late in replying, but I have never in my life cried thru a movie like I did thru My Dog, Skip. I hate crying thru movies. Another one I cried thru was ...oh bother, I can't recall the name. It had Julia Roberts marrying, and she had diabetes. I was blind-sided by it. My son has diabetes, and Sally Field did an EXCELLENT job of capturing the emotions of being a mother of a diabetic child. Then, she died!!!! Thought I'd go into cardiac arrest in the movie theatre.

Yes, My Dog, Skip was excellent, but have tissue handy.

My mother freaked out during that movie because I am a gestational diabetic, which means that you because diabetic just while you are pregnant. I was pregnant with my youngest son when the movie came out.

I should have mentioned that crying accompanied viewing of "My Dog, Skip", big time at my house. Thanks for bringing that to the fore.

Did you see the DVD of it, with the director's comments? The production team all had been deeply moved by the book and wanted to bring that emotional response over into the movie.

I'd say they succeeded very well.

Also, to those who haven't seen it, it's based closely on a true story.
