Loyalty and mission are not contradictory

I don't agree with the top upvote comment. I think Bailey has been reincarnated dozens of times, and is most loyal to Ethan and CJ from beginning to end, which is not in conflict with his other masters.

In fact, the director also discovered this seemingly "paradox", so he handled it carefully: every time Bailey went to follow Ethan or CJ, he would express his gratitude to the original owner in his heart, and say goodbye to them. It's a pity that the minds of humans and dogs are sometimes not so well understood. This is why Bailey is always the most loyal to Ethan, because Ethan is the person who understands Bailey the most!

The story of the owner of the convenience store by the highway and the big dog is also one of the director's explanations for this. Because the big dog couldn't catch up with CJ, he had to follow the boss back, but after the big dog went back, he didn't run away directly, but patiently waited for CJ in the convenience store, and was always with the boss, Bailey didn't "Abandon" them.

Speaking of this movie, I really like Liu Xianhua's performance in the movie! very handsome! Super airy!

This refreshing and natural feeling has not been seen on the big screen for a long time, nice~

Then back to the plot, the script is well written, and I like this kind of simple and touching story.

And the jokes in the story are handled very well, hahaha! Not awkward, but just right.

Especially the tacit understanding between CJ and Trent in the film makes people envious, "childhood sweetheart", really?️!

In the end, it's still you.

In fact, the director has given the ending a "spoiler" from the beginning. Don't forget, it was Trent who brought CJ to find Bailey, which is Molly, so it's still Trent in the end, hahaha! Perfect closed loop ❤️

Life is so ups and downs, ups and downs, joys and sorrows.

All the hardships and pains you have endured will eventually be transformed into love to heal yourself and warm the people around you.

Maybe the relationship between CJ and her mother was not handled well since childhood, but in the end the mother and daughter slowly reached a reconciliation.

People are constantly growing and changing.

Luckily, we have lovely dogs to keep us company.

As long as you give him love ♥️ he will love you unreservedly. very nice.

    I of the original book party, I watched it in Los Angeles (the response was very good abroad) and I went back to China and watched it again. I cried? Of course there were tears and laughter. Reincarnation, I think, is a beautiful thing.

    What is the mission of a dog? As a dog, does it have a sense of mission? Could this so-called anthropomorphic "mission" be imposed on it? After watching the film, I feel that a dog is born with no so-called mission. Its love, companionship, and protection of humans seem to be innate qualities. He has not been trained how to love, on the contrary, it is infecting mankind with his love and life. Because of the existence of dogs, people have more love and a better life. In the human life, the dog has experienced several lifetimes, but it still waits without complaints, which is full of touching.
