From the time we’re waiting in line for our popcorn all the way to the closing credits there is one thing everyone can agree on: we love the movies. And there is only one thing in this world that can make movies even more magical: movies with pets! They don’t call dogs “man’s best friend” for nothing. Furry or scaly, big or small, they make a huge impact on the big screen.
Often considered the “underdog” alongside their A-List celebrity cast members it only takes a wag of their tale to have the entire audience wanting more. And who can blame us?

Most of the time pets offer more than you would ever expect, like comic relief, emotional tension, and heroic adventures.
