      Chris Chang Film Comment Magazine The impassioned wrangling between individuals, their pets, and the ad hoc organizations trying to do the right thing makes for a most perturbing film. Sep 24, 2014 Full Review Peter Rainer Christian Science Monitor If you've ever lost a pet, or grown misty at the sight of a lost-pet poster, this movie will raise your hopes. Rated: 3.5/5 Feb 12, 2010 Full Review Manohla Dargis New York Times Smart, sincere and affecting. Rated: 3.5/5 Jan 15, 2010 Full Review Dan Lybarger eFilmCritic.com You'd have to have a heart as hard as Iron Man's armor not to be moved by this thoughtful documentary by Geralyn Pezanoski. Rated: 4.5/5 May 10, 2010 Full Review Jeffrey Overstreet Image This movie may improve the lives of animals never touched by storms, and encourage us to be kinder to the vulnerable creatures around us -- canine, feline, and human. Rated: 7/10 May 7, 2010 Full Review Laura Clifford Reeling Reviews ...as all good documentaries should, just when Pezanoski's established a point of view favoring her subjects, she calls some of the points she has made well into question.

      Audience Member A heartbreaking and infuriating look into the pets that were separated from their owners during Hurricane Katrina. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Eye opening and heartbreaking. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member This had me in tears within the first minute and I wasn't sure I'd be able to watch it all as I sat cuddled up with my giant dog and a cat. Really well done, the utter frustration and sadness. You get all sides of this nightmare, the original owners, the new owners, the dog rescuers, the dogs themselves. Focuses on about 4 Katrina victims trying for years to get their dogs back. A couple happy endings. If nothing else I hope Katrina changes evacuation policies in the future, this can never be allowed to happen again.01/13(2) Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member This was a very interesting documentary. Especially if you have pets! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Some interesting questions raised but the production value is not all that great, thus the 6/10 rating. Saw this previewed on another DVD and immediately put it at the top of my netflix list. The subject is the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina - more specifically, what about the animals left behind? I'm rarely split 50/50 on anything. Right or not, I just have lots of opinions. The preview skewed me one way. Hearing the actual stories, I'm kind of undecided. Kind of. Many pet owners affected by Katrina were just like many pet owners elsewhere: assholes. By now you should know I like animals more than I like people, and I hate pet owners that just have an animal to have it. Some of the rescuers say that thousands of animals were better off basically dying in Katrina to escape the horrible lives they lived before. On the other hand, some people really loved their pets. They had to leave them behind either because pets were rarely allowed elsewhere, or in the instance of one elderly woman, because the National Guard threatened to take her against her will when she said she would not leave her dog. Either way, as residents were not allowed back into the city, people began to rescue tens of thousands of pets left behind. This docu chronicles a few of these stories: the above mentioned elderly woman and a few more. It's a complicated situation. Tens of thousands of pets rescued and with no where to go. Most owners will never come forward. Instead of euthanizing the animals, the agencies adopt them out. Months or years later, the original owner may find out and try to get the animal back. What happens then? The case can be made that some animals live in better homes than they did before Katrina, even when the owners loved the animals. But it just doesn't seem right for a family with everything to take what may be the only thing left for someone after Katrina. In a few instances in the film, people do return the animals. Others do not. In perhaps the worst case, the agency never even lets the adoptive family know the owner is looking. They never get the chance to make a choice. It's an interesting subplot to the debacle that was the handling of Katrina. I'm not sure there are better solutions. Something that big and destructive is just bound to leave all kinds of shit behind for year. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member doc. about pets lost in katrina and owners trying to fing them, very sad but a lot of nice stories too.
