Riley as a puppy

I know. Which is why, even though he's only there once, I hate that kid.

Seriously! That part made me cry when I was younger. Any other kid would have totally forgotten everything else in the room upon getting a PUPPY for Christmas. I wanted to strangle that kid, lol.

That was really odd. Maybe his parents treated him the same way. Like they would put him out on a street if they didn't want him. It was sad. I like the movie. I lived in San Francisco when it was filmed. I saw them shoot the sceans near Union Square. It is so cool to see movies filmed in San Francisco.
have a great and wondrful day

I hated that kid and the parents too!! I think of my dog Dobie when I see this scene. He was a stray that my brother rescued Christmas 2000. He was walking and my brother was following him with the car. He was weak and couldn't run very far. It was cold out and Dobie was skinny and his bones were showing. Few days later we take him to the vet and we found out he had heart worm. It took 3 or 4 treatments to kill the worms. We also didn't know his age. the vet suspected he was between 2 and 4 so we made him 3. We never found out where he came from or anything about his past. He lived 9 years with us. He passed away on June 30th this year. He was such a good boy. We all miss him so much. Christmas will be an emotional one for us this year. Only thing that makes me feel better is hes no longer suffering or in any pain. I LUV DOGS SO MUCH! I wish they lived longer.

Whether it was a phobia, dislike, or just disinterest...those horrible parents should've been locked up for abandoning a helpless puppy on the side of the road, box or no box!
