My Dog Skip - The Last Scene

The last scene from the movie "My Dog Skip".
"I recieved a trans-atlantic call one day. "Skip died", Daddy said. He and my mama wrapped him my baseball jacket. They buried him out under the elm tree, they said. That wasn't totally true. For he really lay buried in my heart."

[@terrygibbs7824]

you never know loyalty until you've had the love of a dog.

[@johntracy72]

Both of you are right. Dogs and cats alike give loyalty, and unconditional love.

[@Sapphiresenthiss]

Terry Gibbs False. I've owned dogs before and never knew true loyalty and love until I got to own a cat and a parrot.

[@THE_BEAR_JEW]

What a stupid thing to say.

[@rollingdudes8859]

You will also learn manipulative dog behavior when you spoil him rotten as a puppy. They ignore your commands, demand being petted, rubbed, and scratched, and play fake dog shame when you try to discipline them for chewing up EVERYTHING in the house, And won't listen to you unless you have food in your hand!!!

I literally sobbed uncontrollably when I saw this again as an adult. I didn't have hardly any friends through school except my little dog Hannah. She sat next to me in my room through every emotion. I had whole conversations with her and she slept in my bed every night. Sometimes I still think I feel her little body cuddle next to me. She passed away 2 days before my 18th birthday and I was inconsolable.. That's been almost 12 years ago. I still have her toy rabbit in my room. I'm gonna stop writing because I'm starting to tear up. I miss you my little angel.. I'll see you again one day.

[@Tinsby]

"I was an only child, and he was an only dog" -- Willie Morris RIP Skip and Willie, who never got to see the completed film, he passed on in 1999. He and his wife JoAnn saw the pre-release version in NY and after returning home he died of a heart attack a few days later.

[@GingerWizzard1994]

Willie did see the film, before it was released. It was unedited as far as I know. He hailed it as an instant classic.

[@Tinsby]

You are correct, upon reading the book, the whole thing of Skip running away and getting locked in the cemetery vault never really happened. At least that's the way I remember it. That part made my grand kids cry. Hell I get teary hearing Wiliam Ross's theme start to play. I can't watch the DVD any more Been a long time since I read the book, I think I could get THAT Ok!

[@Tinsby]

You may well be right, it's been years since I've read the book I saw the movie first and then read the book. Like so many other movies that were derived from books when placed side-by-side they very rarely ever match up exactly.

[@Tinsby]

She can no longer jump on or off the bed, she is losing her hearing and sometimes limps. She has been such a huge part of my life and it breaks my heart to think of her not being around. I really dont know what Im gonna do then : (

Tickle Biscuit I, too, have a little JRT. She turned twelve in May. Still has lots of energy, belting up and down the garden for her ball, pestering us to play when we're outside. She becomes tired quicker now, even though she'd play till her legs fall off. She's going grey, and she's blind in one eye. My Dog Skip will hurt ten times more when she's gone, even though she has a good few years left, hopefully. I hope your pup is doing good, give her a kiss for me x

I feel so sad watching this, leaving Skip behind...give me goosebumps and tears at the same time. All the thing he said is actually true for me. I have a jack russel and it feels like the best friend of my life. Everytime in the morning he so glad to see me and I go a walk with him and my other dog before i go to work. When i get home from the walk i see it in his eyes that he really want me to be there with him and have fun. I come home from work, the excitement and the happyness from both dogs makes me so happy. I just love them way to much. This video makes me happy and sad at the same time. Thanks for a awesome movie and a really good memorie for my life.

The way skip looked at the bus leaving made me cry. He knew it was the last good bye.

[@stefanpoirier6810]

What I think makes that scene itself so impactful is that when it begins you dont see Skip until he gets on the bus and leaves. The cut to then seeing Skip's elder appearance is absolutely emotional beyond belief. The score accompanying that moment is just perfect as well.

I understand this scene completely. I had a pet lovebird named Pleiades who just died. He was 12, and healthy and happy right up to his final half hour. I’m so glad I was there when he fell to the bottom of his cage. I reached in to grab him, and he was still breathing. He then just gave me this look of “Don’t be alarmed, I just feel a little sleepy that’s all”. I held him for 30 minutes and was holding him when he took his last breath. He didn’t seem like he was in pain when he passed which is good, but it’s still very hard for my family and I to go through.

The moment he said that he buried Skip under the tree in their yard, and he says it wasn't entirely true fore he was really buried in his heart, that's very much how it was with me in October 2nd, 2014, the day my dog Spot died. I sobbed over his lifeless body before I buried him. Spot? I still love you. Everyday of my life, I miss you a lot. I'd give anything at all just to have you back in my life. But I know the Good Lord Himself has you up there with Him and that I will see you again when my time comes. This just lets me know that Spot is really laid buried in my heart.

It's quite incredible how they are in our lives for a brief time, but stay with us forever....

I remember crying tears when i was a little boy and watched this movie. We soon after had our first dog and named him Skip. A jack russel. Months later we had a second dog named Eddie. A border collie. A week ago Eddie died and Skip is all alone now. Skip is now 14 years old and an old man. I owe these dogs so much. Its heartbreaking to think about he wont be with us someday. This movie made me cry as a kid and as a 26 years old man.

Can't watch this scene without being reduced to floods of tears. Dogs are such a precious gift to humanity.

It's funny. Is it not? How some people in our lifes we care little about. Or care too much about. Jade us. I think it's because peole hurt us. Some more than others. But. Your pets. More so growing up. Only give you love, loyalty & affection. Everyone forgets old friends. But we can always remember our first dog.

My dogs getting old I gotta love him while he's still here. Love you jack

This was the first movie I've ever cried to. I was at my grandparents house where my brother chose a scary movie to watch with my grandfather in the other room and I chose this movie to watch with my grandmother in the living room. When this scene came I ran into the bathroom to make sure nobody saw me crying and I haven't watched it until now

[@ElEstelloluvsPF]

Crying my eyes out, thinking about seeing this movie as a little kid, and how right now my dog is becoming like skip at the end. RIP skip, you are never forgotten.

[@miameza6771]

I'm literally crying so hard I can't hardley breath

[@stardew40]

And.. I'm crying my eyes out

I had a black lab when I was 8 and he was the family dog and unfortunately we had to give him up when we moved to Worcester. In 1997 I lost my mother to a car accident when I was 13 and lived recklessly for 12 years and I just shut down. In 2009 I lost my grandfather and ended up in the hospital with a brain tumor a month later. This led me to self destruction and I was ready to give up living my life. Later that same year my little one was born and saved my life. He was the first born and only male out of 5 puppies and for over 12 years, he has given me purpose to live again. He truly is the best to ever happen to me and when his time comes, I will be right there next to him. I’ll hold onto his ashes and when I die, I’m to be cremated and have his ashes mixed with mine. I love him so much and more than anything and anyone else including myself in the universe because he taught me to give my heart again and to love unconditionally.

[@HandbagDiva]

If you haven’t mourned a dog you’ve never known true unconditional love!

Why the hell do I do this to myself?

[@fatherleo4603]

Probably to release some hidden tension inside you.

[@kartracer241]

Lost my dog a little over a month ago. Had him almost 17 years. And I he will always be with me. Miss you Solomon. Miss you everyday

[@Rachel-mq4yj]

Just lost our dear family pup, Shep. He was 12 years old and arthritic and I knew he wouldn't live forever. His passing came so quickly and suddenly, it left me in shock. Cherish the moments you have with your beloved pet. Because no matter how much time we do get with our dogs, we'll always wish we had a little bit more ❤️

[@nursejackie8891]

I had something in my eye, so I found a private spot and watched this video to get it out. Works every time!

[@ShadowCeres]

The words that mad my eyes give out was," he thought of skip everyday."

[@Adore7_AUM]

This has always been one of my favorites. I wasn't ready to rewatch the ending 😭. I just finished the ugly cry, 😭 😪 😩 😢 😫 😭 ... I got my first dog around the same age as the character and he passed on a couple months after I went away to college. Beautiful deeply moving movie. 🎬 🎞 🎥

[@moroccocamel]

I'm 40 years old and have just seen this film. It made me cry for hours! It was really sad as it reminded me of my dog when I was little boy growing up in the UK.
