Romantic Comedies with Dogs in Them? Dogs are the best. They’re cute, they’re playful, and they’ll always love you unconditionally. If you need a pick-me-up or just want to share some joy with your pup, look no further than these 11 movies that have dogs in them!

Sometimes a man and woman come together because of tragic circumstances, physical attraction, or fate, and sometimes lovers find each other because of a dog.
In real life, most dogs provide love, companionship, and loyalty, while trained dogs can save lives and improve the daily struggles of people with disabilities.
Yet, in the movies, dogs not only display enormous intelligence, training, and sensitivity, they can achieve one of the hardest tasks imaginable: help two people fall in love with each other.
Let’s look at a few dogs Helping With Love Triangles
Dogs have appeared in countless films over the years, adding comic relief as sidekicks and sometimes engaging in heroic feats to help their masters. The films below represent a sampling of the movies in which dogs achieved the nearly impossible by bringing together the loneliest, most miserable, most isolated, most burned-out-on-love lovers through their cute canine antics.
