No one has ever said, “Humans are better than dogs.” Unconditional love can only be understood by those who have experienced the affection and loyalty of a dog. Every now and then, a dog movie is released; it may be action-packed or a family drama, but all of these films demonstrate how magnificent dogs can be and why they are renowned as “a man’s best friend.” If you have a dog, you know how nice it is to snuggle with your furry little best buddy, but what’s even better is snuggling with that furry companion while watching a movie about other cozy warm creatures that remind you how fortunate you are to have such a blessing in your life.
I swear the world would be a much better place if we could take our dogs wherever we wanted without any restrictions, but alas, we’re still not there. As a result, we are unable to take our dogs to the movies (picture your dog sitting in a movie theater wearing 3D glasses!). However, if we are unable to take our dogs to the cinema, we can bring the movies to them. Because we now have Netflix, this is suddenly a possibility. So, here’s a list of Netflix’s best dog movies that are now accessible to watch.
Arctic Dogs (2019)
‘Arctic Dogs,’ directed by Aaron Woodley, is a computer-animated comedy film starring Jeremy Renner, Heidi Klum, James Franco, and John Cleese. When Swifty, the fox, learns that Otto Von Walrus intends to drill through the Arctic surface in order to melt the ice, he realizes the need for a counter-plan right away. If he fails, his pals and other types of creatures who happily coexist there will likely perish prematurely. So, before it’s too late, he teams up with a scatterbrained albatross, two otters, a fox, and a polar bear to make sure Otto fails and is dealt with once and for all for plotting such a nefarious scheme.
Benji (2018)
You’re probably thinking if this is a list of dog movies or just Benji movies at this point. Sorry, but we just can’t get enough of this adorable little mystery-solving dog, and Hollywood evidently can’t either, because they keep making remakes of it after all these years. This film’s plot is extremely similar to the first one, which was released in the early 1970s. Benji befriends two little children and subsequently goes out to rescue them when they are kidnapped. Although this is a remake of a classic, it manages to move you just as much as the original and will undoubtedly leave you in tears.
