Bolt

I don't think there was ever a time when we didn't have a pet dog at home. We had several and I forgot the names of the others, but the longest time a dog stayed with us was nine years and his name was Bebot - a black half Rottweiler-half Japanese Spitz. He was a very fierce dog, very much protective of us. He was the one we loved the most because he has rendered us a very good service. Bebot was such a good guard dog.

Today I watched Bolt with my son. The animated movie was about a dog named Bolt (John Travolta) who thought he had super powers. Ever since Bolt was young he was brought in to the world of television as the lead role in a series that he thought was real. He and his human Penny did a lot of extraordinary stuff in the set of the production which made Bolt believe that he had powers such as super bark, super strength and a whole lot more.

One day, Bolt got accidentally packed and got shipped to New York. He got separated from his human friend Penny. While he searched for Penny, he met an alley cat and assumed that the cat was an evil minion of The Green-Eyed Man. Bolt threatened the cat and practically forced her to bring him to Penny. The alley cat was so confused but in the end, she went with Bolt because she feared for her own life as well. On their way they met a hamster who was a huge fan of Bolt. Bolt thought that the hamster was clever because he has observed him in everything that he did. Later on, the cat made Bolt realize that he was a product of television. All the powers that he thought was real were just fake. With this realization, he almost gave up looking for Penny but his devotion to her has made him go interstate to finally get to her.

Dogs are really devoted animals. Unlike cats, dogs have such devotion to their masters to point that they become over protective. Bebot was like that with us. No stranger could come near us with Bebot around. He will surely attack. Bolt was also like that. Bolt loved Penny so much that he did all he can to protect her. Dogs are wonderful creatures aren't they? I'm sure my son would soon ask me for a new puppy. I guess he would want someone like Bolt. I can't blame him though. Bolt was so adorable.The movie was very entertaining, and also it tells us the values of friendship, loyalty, dedication and faith in one's ability. Bolt is a film for the whole family. So far, it was one of the best animated movie I have seen.
