You'll Want to Give a Round of A-Paws for These Lovable Dog Movies

Paw-rents of dogs know just how lovable their four-legged friends are. And if you're anything like Ree Drummond, you'll share adorable pics of them any chance you get! But whether you have a pup as a companion or not, you can still live vicariously through these best dog movies. (Because who doesn't love a good flick about a man's and woman's best friend?!)

The best dog movies are often a lot like the best dogs themselves: adorable, sweet, and family-friendly. Many of them are also a little (or a lot) sad, so make sure you’re not too far from a box of tissues when you cuddle up on the couch to watch the old classics (Old Yeller and Lassie Come Home) and the tearjerkers of today (Marley & Me, A Dog’s Purpose, Because of Winn-Dixie). If you're in the mood for some even lighter family viewing, Disney classics like Bolt, Lady and the Tramp, and One Hundred and One Dalmatians are just plain cute and fun—just like their titular puppies! And when you want to see some lovable large dog breeds in action, you can't go wrong with Beethoven or Homeward Bound. If small fluffy dog breeds are more your speed, check out Dog Days and Best in Show to see charming pups of all sizes.

All of this to say, there's something here for pretty much everyone—except maybe the cats! Check out our list of the best dog movies and get ready for a night of fun with the whole family, including your furry friends.
