Realizing she's nearing the end of her life, 14-year-old Abby the Whippet and her human, Mark, embark on an epic cross-country road trip. From captaining a yacht to riding It's a Small World, making friends with a dolphin and a deer, even peeing on the world's tallest trees, Abby does it all! By the way, whose list is this anyway... Abby's or Mark's? Does it really matter? As the journey unfolds, we realize that all they really want is quality time together. And incredibly, the Universe intervenes; Abby starts aging in reverse, and their three-week bucket list trip morphs into the three-year journey of their lives!

I don't know that I've anything original to add beyond the glowing feedback already shared by others. It's a nicely developed story of Mark and Abby's experience. There's considerable truth in the perspective Mark shares that may be (should be) thought provoking in a way that helps elevate the your relationship with your dog...and/or cat, iguana...whichever. We share our lives with our pets. We should be making the most of it. Definitely worth seeing.

This beautifully told cross-country journey is more than just entertaining — it’s a touching reminder of the deep, unconditional love between a man and his dog. Mark masterfully shares the story of Abby, his aging canine companion, as they embark on a heartfelt adventure to complete her bucket list. With every stop along the way, you’ll laugh, tear up, and reflect on the powerful bond we share with our pets. Whether you’re a lifelong dog lover or simply someone who appreciates a great story, this film will captivate you from beginning to end. It’s hard to believe such an emotionally rich, visually stunning film was created on a shoestring budget. Proof that you don’t need Hollywood to make magic — this is one you won’t want to miss.
