It’s no secret I’m a huge movie lover, and my favorites are chick flicks. What can I say… I’m a sucker for a sappy love story and a happy ending.
What I really love is when I find a chick flick that features a really great dog. That’s the kind of movie that’s likely to become one of my all-time favorites, and I’ll bet those are the kind of movies you like, too, and that’s why I’m excited to share my top 5 chick flicks for dog lovers.
My Top 5 Chick Flicks for Dog Lovers
1) Must Love Dogs 
2) Sweet Home Alabama 
3) You’ve Got Mail 
4) The Truth About Cats & Dogs
5) Lady and the Tramp 
What are some of your favorite movies that feature memorable dogs? Tell me in a comment below… and by the way, they don’t have to be chick flicks!

I haven’t seen Turner & Hooch or Homeward Bound in years. Both great movies!

February 12, 2014 at 4:33 pmExcellent choices all. Must Love Dogs is one of my all-time favorite movies period, never mind chick flicks or animal-themed. Great movie.

February 12, 2014 at 10:19 pmIt is a great movie, for sure! 🙂

February 12, 2014 at 7:06 pmOMG, I just love the movie “The Truth About Cats and Dogs”. The scene with the roller-skating dog is worth it just by itself, but overall, I really love the movie.
Christina Berry says
February 12, 2014 at 10:18 pmI’m getting ready to watch it again right now, Linda! 🙂

February 13, 2014 at 1:22 pmHuh, I’m surprised I’ve only seen two of the movies on your list. I’d like to agree that one of the qualities to look for in a mate is they “Must Love Dogs”, but I married my husband despite the fact that he had little interest in dogs. He doesn’t dislike dogs, but doesn’t get involved with them too much. That is slowly changing over time. Maya and Pierson are slowly winning him over. 🙂

February 17, 2014 at 10:09 pmI have to say that ‘You’ve Got Mail’ and ‘Lady & The Tramp’ are my favorites out of these! Haha, such memories with You’ve Got Mail – the good ‘ole AOL days ;).

March 2, 2015 at 2:37 pmI’ve only seen number 5 on the list so I’m definitely gonna have to check the rest out. Thanks for sharing!
Christina Berry says
March 2, 2015 at 11:15 pmYes! I think you’ll love them! 🙂

March 2, 2015 at 4:18 pmI’ve seen all of these, but it’s been a long time! My favorite movie dog is Zero from The Nightmare Before Christmas.
Christina Berry says
March 2, 2015 at 11:15 pmYes, Zero is definitely a cute choice! 🙂

March 2, 2015 at 4:54 pmOh I think I saw them all but that first one. My fav and the one I really cried at is Marley.
Christina Berry says
March 2, 2015 at 11:15 pmWhen I saw Marley & Me in the theater, I bawled like a baby and haven’t been able to bring myself to watch it again!

March 2, 2015 at 10:55 pmI LOVE all of these movies, great choices! I’m a Husky mom so of course I love Eight Below and Snowdogs! I also enjoyed Darling Companion w/ Diane Keaton and Hachi: A dog’s tale w/ Richard Gere. I just love dog movies, I’m always looking for new ones.
Christina Berry says
March 2, 2015 at 11:13 pmI love Diane Keaton, but I don’t think I’ve ever heard of that movie! I’ll definitely have to check it out! Hachi has been on my list for a while, I need to make time to watch it! And I do agree with you about Eight Below and Snowdogs – great movies!

March 3, 2015 at 10:43 pmGreat list! (Although I haven’t seen SHA.) My fave of those is TTAC&D. Such a cute movie! Hachi is really good, but if you watch it – have Kleenex ready!!!
I loved the dog in The Mask. The hubs and I just crack up at the scene when Jim Carrey’s in jail and hs tells the dog to get the keys and instead the dog gets the cheese.
Linda Szymoniak says
March 15, 2015 at 5:03 pmI’m so glad you included “The Truth About Cats and Dogs”. I would have suggested it if you hadn’t. I just LOVE that movie. Oh, and the scene of the dog on roller skates is the best.
