Dog Gone is a refreshing yet popular film plot where a dog goes missing and the owner must do everything in his might to get to him, especially when the dog is on life-saving medication. Unfortunately for its creators, Dog Gone hasn't been able to hit home with all of its feels and emotions. While the movie does focus a lot on family relationships, and family stands with you through thick and thin, it does not manage to support the thoughts with a strong script. It really isn't something that can invoke emotions, which is what it set out to do. That is because it ends up being too goofy and oversaturated and you are mostly left second-guessing on where the plot will take you next. At the end, however, you will definitely come out thinking of it as a feel-good movie that had a nice conclusion. For some, that's all that matters.
Gonker really did the donut trick. This impressive feat is described in the Dog Gone book. Gonker loved donuts and would eat them by nudging the donut along the ground until he could get the tip of his nose inside of it. He would then throw the donut into the air and catch it in his mouth as it came back down.
One of the differences between the movie and the Dog Gone true story is that in the movie, the dog is a Yellow Lab, but in real life, the missing dog Gonker was a six-year-old Golden Retriever mix.
Unlike the movie, Fielding didn't have surgery until years later. He went to the Cleveland Clinic right after Gonker passed away in 2003 and underwent surgery to remove most of his large intestine. This was roughly five years after Gonker was lost for two weeks in 1998. The movie condenses this and has him having surgery after he passes out in the driveway following his reunion with Gonker, a dramatic moment that didn't actually happen.
