Comments on the script from The Black List:

“The simplistic approach of the narrative works beautifully to create a profoundly moving account of love, loss, and renewal.”

"The story structure is terrific in the way it’s broken up into chapters with the arrival and departure of each canine. This creates an organization to the screenplay while allowing each dog to bring forth a fresh perspective and challenge that keeps the audience entertained.”

“One of the more moving plot lines is the romance that blossoms between Bob and Aubrey. An unlikely pairing in their first introduction, they are quickly bonded by past traumas, offering up a love story that is both universal and timeless.”

“There’s a sweetness and a simplicity to this script that’s very refreshing, very endearing. Bob’s an extremely relatable protagonist, someone who finds companionship in animals and has trouble with humans - an outsider.”

“In general there’s a pleasantness and charm to the whole piece that keeps it feeling buoyant and moves it along.”
