Agnes May 13 2023 1:18 am I watched this film on a long haul flight. What a touching story! I cried tears quietly in my seat during moments.

Love the way the writer brought together the spiritual, emotional and physical aspects of life to tell a story of hope and recovery.

Don't underestimate the power of animals in our lives when we love them. They can provide healing. Life goes on after a disaster and we should keep our hearts open to receive new joys ahead.

This has to be the best film I have seen in a long time. I'm picky and would rate this film 10 out of 10 for making me both laugh and cry.

Jackie P Y Law Oct 17 2022 4:00 am Hi, I am Jackie. Hours ago, I watched Haw with my eldest brother at Element Cinema in Hong Kong. The movie is very heart touching. Haw is a wonderful big dog. I love Haw at the first sight. Element Cinema gave us two Haw plastic holder for memory. I treasure the holder as a great gift. I swear to take good care of my pet doggie, Adam. And also my lovely kitten, Horlicks for my whole life. Actor Kei Tanaka is a man of charisma. He is a charming supporting character in the Haw movie.

Pat Gayo Oct 02 2022 11:46 am I watched the movie. It’s very touching. I kept crying while watching the movie. Very nice story. But I have a question, why does Haw didn’t include in the list of names of the cast? The movie is a credit from him.

Doge Jun 16 2022 2:54 am I love dogs!!! I will watch this for sure!!
