This streaming platform features a variety of wonderful movies, documentaries, and TV shows, but some are better than others.

10 The Dog Rescuers

The Dog Rescuers is a documentary that follows members of the RSPCA as they dedicate their days to rescuing animals from unhealthy situations. It offers a close look at how canines can often come to be mistreated or neglected by their owners while also showcasing how their lives can be improved when they are placed in better living conditions.

It may not be an easy watch for dog lovers who detest the sight of animal cruelty, but it is a necessary watch for those who wish to see just how difficult an animal's life can be if their owners aren't up to the task.

9 Marley And Me

Marley and Me is arguably one of the best movies ever made to showcase the relationship between an animal and its owner. Owning a dog can be a rewarding experience, but the idea of letting go of them at the end of their lives is heartbreaking. Marley and Me aims to inform the viewer that the end doesn't matter, so long as the journey getting there is worth it.

At first glance, Miracle Dogs seems to be nothing more than a charming story of a young boy's love for his dog, but this isn't entirely the case. Their journey together is wrought with some truly devastating moments that all serve to accentuate their blossoming companionship. It's certainly a tear-jerker, but it's well worth the watch.
