While taking care of a dog, it takes a lot of responsibility to take care of it. By making sure one must get good exercise, have its fur groomed, make sure it eats healthy food than people food, and also have it well behaved like any of the rest.
For example, when we had two dogs named Utah & Fern, they had bladder problems when they were getting old. They peed anywhere in the house. Even on wooden toy trains before they died in 2003. After my mom bought one more named Kona, it didn’t understand very well so we had it euthanized. I don’t know why she would do it, but it was a very bad idea as my brothers were getting allergies a lot. Besides, it was a sign of how our mom was turning out to get clumsy while getting old.
Another example would be that my auntie Barb & uncle Jeff, before they got divorced, they took care of a golden retriever named Lucky. In the very beginning, it would eat on people food a lot, so we didn’t want him to do that. He never had bladder problems, but he did die of old age by looking at his face. After the divorce, my auntie Barb bought herself a dog named Pepper by early 2020. She would chew on peoples footwear, tear furniture apart, dig a lot, getting into people food, as well as peeing and pooping a bit in her house, and her fiancé’s.
So there is that. By watching two movies that they actually had on TV channel YTV in the ‘Dog Days of Summer’ in 2005 that I saw with my own eyes, it does relate to what I said.
By looking at famous canines that made cinema history, there is Toto from “The Wizard of Oz” in 1939, and Lassie the rough collie in her “Lassie” movies. In these two that I admire on, than the other sequels, there is a big one. 185 lbs. It’s a St. Bernard dog, and thank god it’s not Cujo from Stephen King. Cause that was too violent and terrifying from the works of Stephen King. I liked for how Cujo got bitten by a bat in the very beginning, but when it got rabid, that’s when he became a bloody beast. To this one, it didn’t. So ladies and gentleman, boys and girls, children of all ages, say hello to Mr. Ludwig Van Beethoven!!
His real name is Beethoven, and he’ll come to kids no matter what. Especially when they need compassion.
“Beethoven” in 1992, showed that after a St. Bernard puppy escaped from a band of pet thieves, a family was able to adopt him and named him after the most famous composer in history. However, the father’s temper was tested when he didn’t liked it. By the time it was growing up fast, Beethoven caused chaos to him. Especially when Beethoven is muddy and dirty all over. Until when they came into contact with the boss and it’s thieves, they worked together to bring them to justice. Charles Gordon was the father, Bonnie Hunt was the wife, Oliver Platt and Stanley Tucci were the pet thieves, and Joseph Gordon Levitt was one of the students in school as a cameo appearance.
“Beethoven’s 2nd” in 1993, showed that Beethoven who was lonely and bored, met another St. Bernard names Missy as they fell in love together. Missy had four puppies a few months later, as while Missy was under custody by a nasty woman and a Chris Penn character, Beethoven and the three children had to take care of them. Charles Gordin as the father wasn’t so sure, but the Beethoven & Missy’s children did caused him a bit of chaos before they left for the country. Bonnie Hunt as the wife didn’t mind, but did had an adventure to bring that nasty wife and Chris Penn dirty all over, and brought Missy back. At the end of the film, Beethoven’s children were all grown up.
Film critic Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun Times wasn’t so sure about these two, when he gave both movies 2 out of 4 stars, but I do feel sorry for him though. It does entertain me as how everyone else enjoys both dog movies. So I give both 8 out of 10 stars.
