Abstract
This study aims to analyze how films depict the intricate relationships between humans and their canine companions, employing narrative analysis and emotional resonance assessment. Key themes include loyalty, communication, companionship, and the impact of dogs on mental wellbeing. Films may showcase dogs as unwaveringly devoted friends or brave protectors, highlighting the deep emotional connection between species. Through this investigation, insights into popular culture's portrayal of canine companionship and its influence on public perceptions of human-animal relationships will be gained.
