Netflix fans have been left “traumatised” after watching a film about a dog that is so heartbreaking it is “hard to watch“. As a nation of dog lovers, films with cute canines at their core can prove a tough watch, as viewers spend most of the film just praying that the dog makes it out alive.
From Marley & Me to My Dog Skip, and even Keanu Reeves action caper John Wick, there are a host of films with dogs at their core that are sure to leave a lump in the throat of even the most hardened moviegoer. Now, a new film has just landed on Netflix, that dog lovers may want to avoid.
First released in 2009, Hachi: A Dog’s Tale tells the story of a college professor (played by Richard Gere) who finds a stray puppy and temporarily takes it home. The new friends go on to form an unbreakable bond, with Hachi accompanying his new master everywhere he goes.
