Filmmakers examine the close bond between people and their service dogs.

Cary Darling

Houston Chronicle

After seeing "Buddy," viewers who have dogs at home probably will want to hug them a little tighter, while those who don't might wish they had.

Rated: 4/5

Amberly McAteer

Globe and Mail

In resisting the urge to roll over into the sappy-dog genre, Buddy instead elevates the stories it tells: It's ultimately about love, resilience and lessons we can all take in.

Rated: 3/4

"Buddy" doesn't need to be as delicate and intelligent as it is to work, but its thoughtful, unsentimental gaze makes an already guaranteed awww-fest into something more substantially affecting.

A genuinely fresh take on "dog films" that, thanks to both the doc's dutiful furry stars and their grateful human co-stars, amounts to solid entertainment for all ages and screens.

Eye for Film

Buddy presents a world where there is less of a social gap between humans and other species than is often assumed, where love for a dog can mean every bit as much as love for a human.

Rated: 4/5
