STORYLINE: 6/10
Hearty is a dog that literally strengthens the children of the ??? family. The kind of loyal dog that never allows you to feel lonely even when faced with the tragedies of life.

CHARACTERS: 8/10 -- ACTING: 6/10… ??? 8.7/10
At such a young age ??? character presence lingers throughout the whole film that I found myself saddened and low for the majority of the film each time I remembered. ??? potrayed the mannerism of my brother, giving me a familiar vibe of both loathing (when he teased Soi), pure brotherly love (when his spirit/ life purpose seized to exist) or even the sadness (watching him tackle the memories/reality Hearty represented).

LIKED – The character Soi – her interaction with Hearty made the dog shine.
DISLIKED – The predictableness of the storyline after the tragedy. The plot just lacked the fan factor it had built that I lost the connection to care for I quickly became aware that my heartstrings were going to be pulled by the writer/ director… creating the predictable feeling

CONCLUSION:
You should watch this drama if you enjoy good child acting – family – tragedy – dogs – slice of life – hope – melodrama – abandonment – willpower.
