Oh I was in effin floods. Noah was heading to B&Q to stock up on wood and making enquiries at the zoo...

I was working in a Dvd rental shop when this came out. Was working on my own one night and decided to put it on. Cue serving customers in floods of tears .

It didn't help that we had a Golden Lab growing up either very similar personality wise to Marley.

The customers must of thought I was a mentalist :pac:.

Did anyone see Hatchi-a dogs tale? The saddest movie I ever watched

I still well up thinking of the story

Are you kidding me? A story about pet abandonment - I thought the owners were SICK SICK PUPPIES and warn off all animal lovers. Not only did the wife fop off and leave the dog to fend for himself when her hubbie died but some how the kids thought it would be grand to just open the gate and let the dog walk out. They should have been brought up on charges of animal abuse. THAT IS ALL! Sorry, that movie gets under my skin.

Now, for a similar story that had me bawling like a baby on the streets of Edinburgh was "Grayfriars Bobby". Elderly shepard dies and the little dog sits on his grave until it too dies.... Thinking about it now makes me want to cry!!!!! kleenex at the ready!

Fantastic! - The original, not the disney remake. The full original can be watched on youtube!

oh hell yes luckily I had my guinea pig on my lap for cuddles!
Gawd, that scene where he takes the dog to the vet and the vet talks about his chances of making it being slim and then he says, "but Marlay's not like other dogs" aw sooooo sad.

It's Hollywood stylised sentimental trash..

.. 'Hachi'... now THAT'S sad!

Agree with you there.

I thought bawling for over an hour after Marley and Me ended was bad enough until I watched Hachi.... am welling up here all over again just thinking about it

Cool! Thanks for the tip, I know what I will be doing tonight

I agree 100% on only watching the original.

My sister came home from the cinema with puffy eyes, told me what happened and we both roared like maniacs. I've still not managed to watch it to this day. Bawled at I am Legend too, thinking about the poor shep still gets the tears going. And lastly, Up. Not exactly in relation to dogs, but my ex tricked me into thinking it would be hilarious and ten minutes in I thought I was having a heart attack from the stress of crying :P

sunbabe08

it was on tonight, switched it on towards the end, turned it off again, i can't watch the last 30 minutes, i'm a blubbering mess.

I cried my eyes out when I read the book, I was living in America at the time, and it upset me alot because I really missed my own dog. I've always wanted to see the movie, but my own beloved pooch died 4 weeks ago so I know now I definitely dont want to see it anytime soon, especially as I know the ending

gazzer

I wont watch that film cos I know I would be a blubbering mess by the end. Also I cant stand Owen Wilson in movies

Does anybody remember the episode of Futurama where Fry finds the fossilised remains of his dog and then it shows how the dog died (waiting outside the pizza place where worked every day until he just lay down and died).

It was one of the saddest things I have ever seen and it was a bloody cartoon

Aglomerado

I bawled. When I finished the book, and both times I've seen the film.

I LOVE dogs and it reminded me of all the great pets I've had down through the years, and having to say goodbye to them too...

People dying in films? Meh. But dogs? Gets me everytime.

too little too late

Bawled from middle to end of film. then watched it again (??????) but still bawled.

ABajaninCork

Yup! Bawled my eyes out with the book. Couldn't bear to watch the film, as I knew I'd never make it to the end...

Frisbee

Like. A. Baby.

eurofoxy

it was the movie for my 12 hour long flight last year, it was only central screens not own entertainment systems, not a dry eye on the flight, even my cat loving GF was in bits by the end of the movie, gas really the entire plane sobbing....loads of kids were really in tears really visibly upset...

sparkle_23

I can't watch it because I know it will upset me

Seb_bixby

Finished the book last night. Decided to read it after seeing this post. Was thinking to myself"I won't cry, can't be that sad":rolleyes:
I am now eating my words, soooo sad, bawled my way through the whole of the end. Lying in bed trying not to wake the OH while leaking tears. Great book though.

The Jman

I read the book and had to keep putting it down to stop myself from crying. I watched the film a few weeks after and my god it was a disappointment. If you got emotional watching the film then you don't have a chance with the book!

Me too!! I got so so angry watching that film, it was on the other night. I was just so disgusted by the attitude of the "owners"

oh look Haachi is my hero, I think we should let him "honour" his dead master by "giving him the freedom" to live a life of cold, hungry, lonely, pining misery for 10 years as a stray who lives under a fecking train in the snow.

Awful awful awful AWFUL story of cruel and willful neglect

ConTheCat

Last time I watched that was the day Sandy was put down Bawled for another 4 hours!!

jupiterjack

watched parts of it and it was a great film but could not watch the ending as it would be very upsetting.

Read the book first...sobbed like a baby. Really, it was ridiculous.

Watched the movie months later....sobbed like a baby. Really, not good. Then I went and gave my Great Dane a well-deserved and probably overdue cuddle.
