This film is a decent presentation of a dog lover's life with the protagonist's life being already messed up and how a dog's entry into his life changes the trajectory with lots of emotional sequences placed across the film, but somehow the content felt like old one where the dog is replaced by the heroine and I realised this when the story moved towards the dog having cancer, meh.

One new thing that was presented was the psychology of the person who grows up a dog which was somewhat differently showcased.

The film is made along the lines of Hachiko, so if you love that film, this is also a good watch.
