Well, it's a doggy story for humans, anyway: an avowedly true-life tale that comes across like a well-meaning PG-certification of the real world.

Emotional dog tale features drinking, violence, and loss.

I do like a good dog in a family movie.

Shamelessly enjoyable, this raucous Aussie movie keeps us laughing - and ultimately sniffling back the tears - as it recounts an urban myth.

Heart's in the right place, but very broad and quite irritating too.

It's not quite as blatant a tearjerker as some of its pooch-based predecessors, and frankly, it's all the better for it.

It's guaranteed to bring tears and laughter to popular audiences, and those who turn up their muzzles at it are on a canine to nothing.

Hollywood's own family fare could probably learn a little from this sweet-natured and surprisingly affecting Aussie hit.

Enjoyable, emotionally engaging doggy drama with likeable characters, a nicely structured script, a strong sense of place and terrific performances from a superb ensemble cast.

Pretty sappy stuff, but the film-makers use knowing humour to snare more cynical viewers and are well-served by the cast.

All this is relayed in flashback and the storytelling is a tad episodic but it's exuberantly told, with some engaging characters and colourful visuals. Dog-lovers may even find themselves wiping away a tear or two.

Even hardened blokes will struggle not to choke back a few tears at the end.
