Call me biased, but I think my dog has a pretty amazing smile.
He’s a natural poser, really, with all the goods.
Warm brown eyes. An equally brown, wet nose. Shiny, white teeth, even at the ripe ol’ age of 12 1/2.
And, most importantly, a big heart and gentle soul, so the smile is a genuine reflection of what’s inside.
If you’ve met him, you know it’s true.
But a photo of another dog is currently circling the Interwebs, and I have to say — this is one of the most endearing smiles I have ever seen, dog or human.
Take a look…
How cute its that?
It is especially adorable how closely it mirrors the smile of his person.
They are both good people, too; you can tell.
It’s written all over their faces.
Hear ye
On the surface, Hit and Run doesn’t look like a message movie.
I like the story of how this little movie, written and directed by Dax Shephard — who also stars in the film with his girlfriend Kristen Bell and a lot of his friends — was made for a song and then got picked up by a major distributor and is now in theaters.
The little engine that could.
So while the plot isn’t my normal cup of tea, I went to see it to support indie film making…and actors that I enjoy watching. And then this tiny sub-plot pops up half-way through the movie –
A message for dog owners, no less.
How you shouldn’t tie up your pets outside stores and restaurants where they could easily be stolen. And the big difference the type of food you feed your dog makes, both in their health and happiness.
And who taught these lessons in the movie?
The “bad guy”…in a really funny way. It’s worth the price of the film just to see this short segment. I applaud Dax for finding a way to make those points in such an entertaining fashion.
Here’s hoping folks get the message.
