SIT. STAY. LOVE.

Married couple Cathryn Michon and W. Bruce Cameron, who previously worked on adaptations of the latter’s novels ”A Dog’s Purpose” and ”A Dog’s Journey”, return for another saccharine tale where a family goes through heartache and two love affairs, all of it with a couple of cute dogs at the center, one of them a sage basset hound capably voiced by Thomas Haden Church.

Will everything be sorted out in time for Christmas? You bet.

Sweet cast and pleasant story; easily digested, but a little more seasoning wouldn’t have hurt.
