Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

when you get a dog "pit bull" that you make a quick judgment as to his life because he seems mean or aggressive you need to think why is this dog being mean? If you were beaten and abused for a long time how would you fill? If you can't deal with a dog that is aggressive then contact someone who could take the dog and at least give it his life to live. Remember we are Gods to our pet friends and it is our responsibility to do what ever it takes to take care of them and not let any harm come to them. Call Tea on pit bulls and paroles and she would have taken Clyde that brindle lion color dog you put to death. You make comments like if i put a spoiler without warning.

I know I'm watching this 10 years later but very specifically when agent Wayne Smith talks so empathetic ally about the hoarder from whom the team has had to remove so many animals from a horribly decrepit house I was deeply moved. In fact I would like to extend this review to Animal Cops Houston, Phoenix and Miami to salute the deep humanity that these series have shown and the utter commitment that the animal rescue teams have demonstrated. In the UK we have our own animal rescue series showing similarly admirable commitment, but possibly without the same range of challenges--from horses to venomous snakes, even to turtles, as well as the usual dogs and cats--that the US teams have had to deal with. In recent times we have seen on our screens loud crowds with harsh faces: Animal Cops: Philadelphia and parallel series remind us that there is another aspect to human nature. Tactfully filmed, carefully narrated, these episodes of course encompass mini-narratives with roller-coaster resolutions, but I think honestly represent the individuals concerned (who I hope feel the same). Well done!
