One of the things that I think is very clever is the setting of the female owner raising a dog. Just using the comparison between the old girl and the young mother is not strong enough to express the emotions, and the most moving scene in the whole film is the part where the dog died and Adaline cried and turned through the album to put the photos. These dogs are the only ones with her. She has to endure losses again and again, and she has to endure the endless loneliness brought by immortality.
