Thought it was going to be a traumatic ending but the last five minutes changed all that. An unlikely pair of leads.

Beautifully filmed. Sensitive reflective story line.
Enjoyed it.
Very good especially if you are a dog lover.
Simple but cute. Needed a better ending.
Like it from first seeing his face (Coco and Bombon).
A gentle tale.
Delightful tale - refreshingly unsophisticated, trust restored in the end - Yes it has a feelgood factor!! Thank God he didn't go for the Bank Manager's option!!
Pleasant simple film.
A good film, but it seemed to end without a real resolution.
Too many close ups. Loved Juan Villager.
Gentle, enjoyable film.
Loved the ending - I'm glad Coco got the dog back!
Warm and human. Beautifully simple and direct. Life enhancing.
