Dogs in Combat

In this clip, cast and crew talk about the experiences of canines in combat and how military dogs can also suffer from PTSD.

Max didn't find a huge audience in a crowded summer movie season, but it's exactly the kind of PG-rated family movie that people who complain about Hollywood say they want to see. There's respect for the military and a not-t00-complicated mystery that leads to action sequences action-filled enough to keep squirmy kids entertained. Check it out.
