What is Dog about?
An army ranger and his dog embark on a road trip along the Pacific Coast Highway to attend a friend's funeral.
Does it have a happy ending? (spoiler-safe)
Bittersweet. It earns its ending, but not everyone gets what they want.
A former Army Ranger and a Belgian Malinois find unexpected healing on a bittersweet road trip.
Melancholy and earnest, with wholesome humor. A comfort watch at a measured pace. Emotionally it is heavy.
Streaming on Prime Video and Tubi (free).
