This movie was filmed
inside a Massachusetts prison.
Prison inmates train the dogs and get them ready for adoption by families. This program has a huge benefit for the
men and also for the dogs. The
dogs have had a tough life before they come to live in the prison and the
inmates have had tough lives too. The men can see they are making a difference and they
receive updates after the dogs leave.
The dogs are usually afraid because everything is new and they have
traveled from a southern state to the prison. They need new skills and they need someone to love
them. The prisoners receive
unconditional love back from the dogs.
The stories of the
dogs and the prisoners are very good.
The men don’t reveal why they are in prison but the background stories
of the dogs are shown. The only
negative comment I have is that the film is somewhat repetitive with same scenes and
information. 3 ½* (I liked this
movie)
67
min, Doc directed by Brean Cunningham, Douglas Seirup with Candido Santiago.
Note: Imdb 7.8 out of 10, 87% audience on
