Great Film overall
Absolutely the worst movie.
It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
Investigate Before You Donate! How much money is spent by these organizations on lobbying for their own agenda and profit?!?!
This movie starts out by honestly portraying the kind of puppy mills that are the problem. It is produced by Protect the Harvest, an organization that works to protect the rights of families in animal industries.The breeder in the movie is not by definition a "puppy mill" but rather a 3rd generation professional breeder of high quality hunting dogs.The movie does a good job of pointing out the ugly side of the animal rights movement and the damage that can result from the combination of an ambitious deep pocketed non profit and overzealous, inexperienced law enforcement.Even with it's clear agenda, the movie is well written and the acting is very good. If you don't come in with any preconceived notions as some of the previous reviews clearly have, you will enjoy the movie for what it is, a classic David and Goliath with a very modern setting.
"The Dog Lover" brings us into the true world of America's animal rights movement, their organizations, and their ultimate deceptions. There are sub-standard, unregulated, puppy mills which we all agree should be shut down. However, rather than targeting these dreadful operations, American's animal rights organizations choose to fabricate false charges on highly visible and regulated professional breeders. The Dog Lover also gives viewers a front row seat inside many of the challenges animal husbandry faces on a daily basis. Producers Forrest Lucas and Ali Afshar certainly dedicated a great amount of time to obtain the depth of knowledge necessary to recreate such an accurate depiction of this true story. This movie is a must see for all. Encourage your family, friends, civic organizations, and lawmakers to see the insightful movie The Dog Lover!
If you're a dog lover, I highly recommend this film. Very moving with a great pay-off at the end. Really exposes the truth about some organizations. This would be a good family movie, it's educational and also interesting. It brings about the debate on puppy mills and will give you insight on what some are really about. The good people out there follow the law and get punished for it, while those who mistreat and abuse animals go unnoticed. It's an unfair system that needs recognition and this movie brought awareness to it. It makes you question people's motives and what cause they're really fighting for. I would definitely watch this film again
