Is Dogedy a legitimate film category? This film tries to carve out its own niche by trying to be a comedy which wins people's hearts by revolving around a characteristic dog. Sarah, whose life we are supposed to believe (a teacher yet she drives a Golf and lives in a swanky neighbourhood close to the picturesque parks of London), inherits Patrick and then has various adventures with potential suitors. There's the 'will she' 'won't she' shenanigans, dog-related mishaps and an ill-conceived participation in a fun run. If the run was a marathon her behaviour might have been more understandable but this is a healthy looking woman running a couple of kilometres and she behaves like she's run a marathon across the Sahara. That all aside, the younger audience cannot help but be seduced by Patrick and his antics provide plenty of entertainment to win them over. It only needs one part of the formula to succeed in this instance.
