10 Promises To My Dog

10 Promises To My Dog is a very touching and sentimental story about the friendship of a puppy golden retriever named Socks and her owner, a 12 years old Akari.

Akari found the little puppy that had wandered into her backyard one day. She decided to keep it as a pet since she has requested for one during her birthday. She showed it to her mother and was told to keep 10 promises to the dog. Over the course of the next 10 years of her life, she has fulfilled some and failed to keep some. But at the end, she appreciated the friendship and love that her beloved and faithful dog had shown to her.

It was a touching story of how an innocent companion and friendship between man and dog has taught Akari many valuable lessons about life. She learnt what is important in her life as well as to be less selfish. What she went through are such a commonality in our lives; losing our loved ones and pets, missing out the best time, failing to appreciate love when it is right there in our face, etc. The movie melted my heart and caused me quite a few tears!

Ratings: 4.5 out of 5 fairy clouds. An excellent movie with a simple and yet amazing life story which many of us experience at one point of our lives.
