Okay so I'm a sucker for dog movies.....and Dean Cain. Originally I bought this movie because I'm a die-hard Dean Cain fan, but I am a sucker for any movies with or about dogs, so I got double the fun for my money.

This is an all around good movie. I grew up in a family that raises and shows dogs, so I related to both the girl's and dad's feelings. This movie is a cute, entertaining tell of a girl who sets out to cear her father's police dog/her dog companion name and save him.

What I find even more interesting is that my dog even sat down and literally watched this movie with me, all the canine interaction, I guess, got his attention.

This is a great family film and a must for any dog lover!

I am a sucker for any movie with a dog in it...I guess I have been since the days of Benji!

This movie has a great storyline that deals with a girl's search for the truth to save her beloved dog, Ace. Good acting and the whole family will enjoy.

The girl in the movie is a type of junior detective and the studio put together a wonderful "Junior Detectives Guide" to accompany the film. My kids worked through it after watching it over the weekend and had fun doing it: [...]

I recommend this movie.

Ace is a member of a k-9 unit and one of the top in his field for getting the bad guys. Dan is a dad that sometimes is so protective of his canine partner that he spends more time with the dog than his teenage daughter or his wife. It doesn't take long to see that Ace respects Dan more than any of the other family members...even taking over dan's wife side of the bed. This leads to stress in both relationships as wife and daughter feel they are always second best to the dog.

Unfortunately on one occasion, Ace gets blamed for attacking a theif named Torko's throat. The lacking evidence to the crime that Ace chased him down for protrays the criminal as an innocent bystander attacked by a vicious dog. This leads to Ace being sent to be put down or Torko's lawyer will press charges. The caring handler that Dan is...decides to drive him there with dignity since Ace is distressed to be apart from him.

Pair a smart canine with an inept employee and a blessing of an escape results where Ace must find his way home. In the meantime, both Dan and his daughter Julia try to clear Ace's name while dealing with both grief, ashes labeled as Ace, and evidence that leaves the possibility that Ace is alive.

Definitely a heartwarming animal story here of a dog that steals hearts. My only disappointment was there were no dvd extras...just trailers of other dvd movies. It would have been interesting to see how they trained the dog, additional scenes, story background, actor's comments and more.

What part of this was "based on a true story"? That there was once a cop with a police dog? What's this movie about? A stupid jerk cop with a genius daughter who is able to figure everything out by looking on Wikipedia. This cop lets his dog be put to sleep for biting a guy's throat before checking the stupid security camera that proved he didn't. And why was there a security camera there anyway? It would have been pointed at nothing. And the dumb doctors can't tell between a self inflicted wound and a dog bite? I don't think I need to go on.

I agree with the review criticizing the "based on a true story" claim. According to the Reader's Digest story "Ace and the Dog Man", this was a really great police dog who did amazing things. But there was no indication anywhere online that Ace was sentenced to being put to sleep for a crime he didn't commit, nor could I find anything about the daughter who wouldn't give up believing Ace was still alive. Is she even real? At any rate, the writer's attempt to create a story about a great dog was unbelievable, frustratingly stupid as far as an inept police department, and while the daughter's intelligence, persistence and intuitiveness was extremely admirable detective work, it really didn't accomplish anything to actually save the dog or bring it home.

The only good part about the movie, is that it's clean, it has a happy ending where right and good prevail over bad and wrong. I'd only recommend it to grade school kids and then use it as an exercise in finding the lack of logic in both the storyline and the police department's procedures and decisions, and at the same time noticing the ingenuity and persistence (also recklessness) in the daughter's actions.

THIS IS THE BEST MOVIE OF ITS TYPE IN A LONG TIME. MY HUSBAND AND I BOTH ENJOYED IT. AND IT IS A GOOD FAMILY MOVIE

This is one of the best German Shepherd movies I've ever seen in my life. In fact, it's probably THE best! Ace is so smart. He displays both emotion and spectacular acting feasts. The plot is based on a true story. Julia and Dan are both great actress and actor, respectively. I highly recommend this to anyone who loves dogs, esp. German shepherds. My second favorite is Rain by Scott Cooper. Then the K9.

I watched this because I love dogs, but the father-daughter relationship brought more tears to my eyes than anything. Words can't do it justice. Just watch it.
