The prime purpose of this article is to give the dog lovers around the world a brief directory of the movies that have starred dogs. Many movie makers across the globe have made amazingly great movies for the people who have been in love with dogs since the very dawn of their lives. Movies of dogs and the dogs in the movies have made millions fall in love with dogs. Evidences are there that many people who have never thought of staying with dogs have fallen deeply in love with these animals. A dog can change a man’s life! Many movies of dogs have showed how a dog can change his owner’s life. Right when I’m writing this article, I can recall a dog in a movie called Digby.

Digby was the name of the movie, which was named in the honor of the name of the hero – a St. Bernard, who changed the life of his scientist owner by accidentally drinking a potion that was invented by him. After the dog drank the potion he started growing bigger and bigger and the growth ended up in a size of almost a live dinosaur! This made the scientist conclude that the potion could be administered to the dwarf people, who wants to gain height medically. The scientist was in desperate love with Digby and was heartbroken when he could find Digby the next fine morning. Digby went away from his home after he grew bigger, since he could fit in the house.

The scientist found Digby chained to a iron post in a circus tent; his size simply trurned the owner speechless. He started off working on inventing an antidote that could minimize Digby’s size. His success in making a couple of magic potions made the scientist reach the zenith of fame! Digby regained his original size and started livingly with the scientist’s family once again.
