Here they are.

Top 10 Dog Movies:

1. Lady and the Tramp. This classic Disney movie features a pampered pooch and a city mutt and their adventures when their paths cross. Plus it has the unforgettable spaghetti scene.

6.Turner and Hooch. The story of neat freak (Tom Hanks) and his partner Hooch, who may have a bit of a drooling problem will make you laugh and warm your heart. It's definitely one of our all-time favorite dog movies!

7. Old Yeller. This movie is a true classic about a boy, his dog, and their strong bond. Old Yeller is a story of how we come to love our pets, the responsibility they give us and how we deal with their loss. Just be warned, if you haven't seen it yet, bring the tissue box because it is a real tear jerker.

Three pets (Chance, a young dog unfamiliar with the world; Shadow, an aging, wise dog; and Sassy, a snobby cat) are left behind when their family goes on vacation. Unsure of what happened, the animals set out on a quest to find their family. 

10. Airbud. The first installment of many fun movies, This goofy but fun story is about a golden retriever who also happens to possess all-star basketball skills.
