Very repetitive, slow and laborious. Hoped the dog would be an inspiration as the title suggests but it just went on and on about the same issues. Mind numbingly depressing. I should have seen it right to the end but gave up after 60 minutes.
Plot summary
"My wife had faith, I had doubt - you'd be surprised how well those two work together!" That's been Joe Bigler's "life operating manual" until his wife died in a mysterious bicycle accident. Now without her faith to help him mourn, and his doubt driving toward a mystery surrounding her death, Joe is left with more questions than he can handle, and quickly finds himself spiraling into a dark abyss - uncertain of all things. His rescue comes in the form of a Dog who wanders into his rose garden and refuses to leave. "Dog," as Joe unaffectionately refers to him, never utters a single bark, but engages Joe in silent conversation, and together they form an unexpected bond. And with that bond comes a new understanding of love, mercy, and compassion along with the beginnings of a personalized faith that helps Joe not only begin to grieve and heal, but also discover the answers to the unsolved mystery surrounding his wife's accident...and ultimately an ability to forgive at the highest level.

Not really a dog movie
Life with Dog
WORST movie EVER. ALL throughout the movie, he kept talking to his DEAD WIFE...a Ghost, he was full of hate that NEVER let up. We stopped watching it after 60 mins as it was just too ugly and the dead ghost is NOT biblical. We've never seen such a horrible movie...was nothing but darkness and that was too overpowering, I hope people will share their reviews as well about how much this movie STINKS...it made us feel awful!
Do Watch
Maybe 'cause I live w "death out of proper time", I felt this movie dealt w grief & anger quite well. It was real, the plot was Not predictable, and it was well acted. I would have liked to have seen or heard more of a "peace through the storm through faith" message from Alice, as there is a profound difference in grieving w/o faith in God versus trusting God through it. I've done it both ways, thankfully I live through it w God now. Well done on the writing Mr. Bernsen.
