Britanny Barstow and Chris McNally are likeable actors, and I found their mutual attraction believable. The subject of military service dogs is also heartwarming. On the other hand, there is a lot of lazy writing in the script. For instance, the notion that the dog rescue center doesn't have a deed to the land it sits on is ridiculous. Everyone is looking for the deed all through the movie, and then when it is mysteriously found, the rescue center is not notified immediately. Instead, it's kept until the next day and revealed during a PR event. Also, the "bad developer" character who wants to take the land and build condos on it (or whatever) is portrayed as a borderline psycho who takes and hides a copy of the deed, so her land grab can go through. As expected, the couple follow their hearts and true love triumphs at the end, but I've seen both of these actors handle that moment in a more natural way. Along with better writing, this movie would have benefited from focusing more on the military service dogs, who are the real stars in the story. Over all, it's watchable if you can ignore the flaws.
