Dog gets emotional while watching 'Marley and Me'

That pup was stronger than me--I couldn't watch it. I can't watch any movie where animals die. I don't know if it's a character flaw, but I get more emotional when an animal is killed or dies than if a human does.

Could be a connection to nature a feeling of oneness. Humans for the most part are disconnected to the thread of life. Western religion, European lifestyles and urbanization have been the axe that cut the thread.

You're exactly like my late husband only he wouldn't watch anything that had an animal in it because he was afraid they might kill the animal in the end.
