Ok just saw it. Story-wise it’s pretty simple but a fun experience for dog lovers nevertheless. Indy was so expressive! Definitely stay til after the end credits for a peek behind the scenes.

The dog won the SXSW festival's Howl of Fame award for best canine performance. I can't wait. This one has been on my list for a long time.

Just watched this, really enjoyed it. Indy did a great job and the director/owner really managed to grab all the little dog body language cues.
