It's A Dog's Life

Wonderful Movie about the "Rags to Riches" life of a Dog, as seen through that dog. In the beginning of the Movie we are introduced to Wildfire, a white Bull Terrier, and his Mother, who are scrapping for food along New York City's Bowery. Wildfire has a grudge against his Father, who sired him illegitamately. He has never seen his dad, but he knows his name, Champion Regent Royal. He vows to find him one day, and have revenge on him. He gets involved in the Fighting Dog Racket, but is eventually found by a the daughter of a wealthy man who breeds show dogs. Wildfire then becomes a Show Dog himself, and wins awards at local Dog Shows. He also finds out his father is a champion Show Dog. Eventually Wildfire finds himself competing against his father in a Championship Dog Show, he also falls in love with a Female Bull Terrier, who has his Puppies at the end of the Movie.They just don't make movies like this anymore.

This movie was currently updated under a new name “A Dogs Purpose”. The original movie is actually filmed from the dogs eye view. It was made in the 1950’s but it’s as if the dog is wearing a video camera on his head. It’s a ABSOLUTELY must see if you want to be a great film maker.

Movie played well despite no captions (do not hear well). Early arrival, well packed. Saw this movie years ago & still love it. Great movie for Bull Terrier owners.

It's A Dog's Life is funny and entertaining. The dog tells the story from his view point. It has plenty of bounce and action. If you like a good dog movie this is the one. Janet

This is a delightful film, apt for not only children but adults who will enjoy it.

I remember this movie from when I was a child and wanted it for my collection. I was surprised with the dog fighting but thankfully you didn't see it. Amazed at what was OK back then and how we view things now. Still love the movie.

Maybe a bit corny but this 1955 movie I saw on TV many years ago and loved it and my children loved it so I was thrilled I could purchase it. It's fun and makes me smile, bullies have that affect on you. Even if Bull Terriers are not your thing, any dog lover would love this movie.

Came on time, of course and the DVD is excellent. The movie title says it all, it is about a British Bull Terrier and the life he goes through in England. It is actually narrated by the dog. Though there is dog fighting in the movie, it is pretty tame. The movie may not be for kids if you don't want to expose them to the world of dog fighting, otherwise, a great movie. I strongly suggest it.

Another Movie from the Warner Archive collection.

quite an enjoyable film good transfer 235;1

I first saw this movie as a kid and fell in love with Bull Terriers. It's a great story and still holds up well today and I've never seen another "dog movie" like it.

The best dog movie !

Very pleased to find this as my original was on VHS.
