i also liked the movie... and loved the dane... but, what i do not like is the fact that they (hollywood) reinforced the idea that danes only live to be about 7. This concept, which I also believed for a long time, needs to be addressed to the general public. The only reason that 7 is the average is primarily because of bad breedings and bad food. Although there life span is limited because of their size and health issues aassociated with the breed, from what I can tell, an average life span for a well bred, well fed, and well taken care of dane is between 9 - 12. It is only because so many die at a young age, primarily due to bad breeding, bad food that the average drops drastically.

I do believe that a dog can be perfectly healthy on a properly controlled vegetarian diet (I have seen the proof of this) - definitely better than thea lot of ppl feed. but it does need to be monitored closely... and if it is not natural, not medically necessary, and there are excellent kibble out there, why go through the headache ? I mean dogs are carnivorous... but, to each there own

I just saw that movie too. My best friend was on a heart transplant list before she died so it really hit home. The Dane was cool but I agree, vegan doesn't seem all that realistic. Vegetarian, maybe (there are always eggs and milk products), but not vegan. What do they give the dog for protein? Nuts and soy?Julie

I have seen the movie 3 times, and it is really a good movie, I don't like the part where they say that they only live for 7 years also.
In fact a friend of mine wants one so bad, but does not want to get one because they live such a short life.
I know how much we all hate the horse comments and saddle etc etc. But, when I saw it in the theatre, everyone laughed when the guy that owned the motel said that is a horse.. Ok, so that was kind of funny in a cute way. I like when they had Will Smith say let me know when you get a horse policy.
That was a very beautiful Danesigpic "To err is human, to forgive, canine." – Unknown

Well thanks Veronica! I was going to ElPaso a lot but this past week and for I don't know how much longer I'm working for Walmart out of CasaGrande AZ. I run around AZ and SOCAL delivering groceries and come right back. Its great money unfortunately its all nights and I'm too tired to do anything with Earl during the day. I dropped him off at day care Fri. so he could hang out and play and have some fun all weekend. I sure have missed him though and I can't wait to pick him up today.
If I go back out that way I'll let ya know!sigpic
