I feel obliged to comment on the movie coz I have a golden retriever named Gordon who is 8 years old. The movie is everything on a dog movie lover's wish-list: it's funny in the beginning, and very of emo at the end. Really very sad ending. Though I think its how they filmed it, I've no idea how people can love a dog that is that destructive soo much. But its true when they say that dogs don't care about your social status, as long as u care for them they'll care for u back. Maybe that's why dogs are man's best friend.
Come to think of it, Gordon does do funny things, though he is no where as extreme as the title character of Marley and me. He barks nearly exactly at 530pm each day, when its about time for his daily walk. (Haven't been walking him recently coz of exams... hmmm...) And sometimes after the family returns home from a meal, he'll start licking his doggy plate (which is already empty). My mom hypothesizes that he's trying to ignore us. But that doesn't make sense because after we enter the house, he starts barking again. Maybe he needs more food?
Gordon craves for fun like any other dog, and if he doesn't get it he'll look for ways to do so. One of his favorite routines the moment I remove my shoes and take off my socks is to bite off the socks and run away, looking back to see if we give chase. I've thus far learn't to throw my socks straight from my feet into the clothes basket where he can't reach them. Though if he gets frustrated enough he'll target shoes instead...
Time to play!
