If you loved Hachi: A Dog's Tale, try A Dog's Purpose

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 Hachi: A Dog's Tale, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What A Dog's Purpose is

Rural fields, summer sunshine, a puppy's wagging tail. A dog's journey unfolds through various owners and lives. Hallström handles sentimental material with a light touch.
