For as long as I can remember, we have had dogs in our home. Growing up I can remember several dogs but no dog more than my beloved Golden Retriever, Buppa. As a child, I couldn't say the word puppy so I called dogs buppa instead.
Fast forward years later and my mother bred a Golden Retriever. We ended up keeping three of the puppies and then became a four dog family for the rest of my formative years. Buppa was amazing dog and he loved me more than anyone else. I felt the same way about him. I don't remember much about my childhood that didn't involve him. He was always there. Through every boyfriend, every heartbeak, every sports game, friendship and more; he was always there.
He died when he was 16 years old and I was a mess. After losing him, I decided that I could never have a dog again because I just could love one like I had loved Buppa. He gave me 16 of the most amazing years and because I lost my best friend, I simply couldn't have a replacement. I felt lost and I just knew that I would never love another dog again.
Three years later, I found Buckley on the Brittany Spaniel rescue website after watching the American Kennel Club show. He was sick, malnourished, had Parvo and wasn't expected to make it. I took one look at his face on the website and knew instantly that he would be our dog.
It took two, long months of visiting Buckley weekly, making certain that our home was ready for him (we installed a fence) and for him to recover. However, upon meeting him I realized that I could absolutely love another dog and let him into my home. The day Buckley came home, we (my husband and I plus Buckley) became a family and we loved Buckley for the next 10 years.
Buckley was the dog that protected each child by laying next to their crib. Buckley was the dog that comforted me when my best friend died at age 32. Buckley snuggled with and kept everyone in this family warm for so many years plus gave us his unconditional. Buckley taught us that we will always have room in hearts to love another dog.

I’m so excited to see this movie, and I LOVE that I can put my guy into his own poster. I feel like I’m going to need to bring an entire box of tissue with me.
I would love this movie. I have seen a number of reviews for it, and it just looks good. I like how he decides there is room in hiss heart for another dog. Its tough to lose an animal espeially one you have had all it’s life you think you cant love. It isnt true, you can.
I am really looking forward to going to see this movie when it comes out. The Golden retriever reminds me of my old dog.
I would surely love this movie. I lost one dog a couple of years ago and it was really tough for my family.
I really adore dogs, this movie makes me intrigued and I badly want to watch it. I’m so excited!
Thanks so much for sharing your story. Losing a dog we love is like losing a family member. This show is going to be a hit, I just know it. The grand kids and I will be waiting to see it.
This sounds like a fantastic movie for anyone but especially the dog owners. My believe for everything is that there is a purpose for everyone and everything in our life. I have to admit that when I see the trailer for this movie it makes me tear up. This is one movie I can’t wait to see.

I am seeing so much about this movie. It sounds like it is going to be really emotional. Dog movies just get to me!
Oh man. I’m torn on this one. On the one hand, I think it’s going to be AH-mazing. On the other hand, I don’t really like crying in public. Who am I kidding? I’ll be there.
My daughter is over the moon excited about this movie. We saw a preview and she’s been non-stop since then. Can’t wait until the 27th!
I do love my two little fur babies so much. I believe their entire purpose was to bring happiness into my life. I certainly hope I have brought some happiness into their lives.
I have not heard of this movie, but it looks adorable. I know my id would love it.
I have warred with myself on whether or not I’m going to see this. I think I have decided it will need to be at home that I watch it. I’m going to be a bawl bag when I watch it, haha.
This movie looks beyond beautiful. I can not wait to see it and plan to pack the tissues!
