If you loved A Dog's Purpose, try Hachi: A Dog's Tale
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Lasse Hallström, and they both carry the bittersweet, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama / Family territory. If that's the register that drew you to A Dog's Purpose, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Hachi: A Dog's Tale is
Snowflakes fall on a railway station bench. A professor finds a lost Akita puppy beside his briefcase. Hallström handles sentiment with subtlety.
