    My heart is very warm~ The real theme movie is full of positive power. An exciting rescue story with a timeless theme of man and nature. I have no resistance to the film that loves animals, not to mention it is a true story~ The film itself is average, but there is nothing outstanding, the truth and emotion are the biggest highlights.
