Dog Gone on Netflix: Plot, trailer, what to expect, and more details explored
On December 13, 2022, Netflix dropped the official trailer for the film and it offers a glimpse of the dog's relationship with the two lead characters. The dog's name is Gonker, and in the trailer, the father shows him how to fetch a stick.
The trailer shows the family spending time with the dog and bonding with him. However, the second half of the trailer takes a shocking turn when the dog goes missing, leaving the father and son devastated.
They decide to travel to the Appalachian Trail to find their beloved pet and meet various people on their journey. Soon, the media finds out about the search and tries to cover the news.
Overall, the trailer maintains a warm, hopeful tone that fans of movies like Marley & Me and Hachi: A Dog's Tale would love. Along with the trailer, Netflix also shared a short description of the movie on their YouTube channel which states:
''A young man and his father begin a desperate search to find their beloved dog Gonker on the Appalachian Trail before it’s too late. Based on an incredible true story, Dog Gone is the adventure movie of the new year - only on Netflix January 13.''
Based on the trailer and synopsis, fans can expect an emotional drama that explores the beauty of human beings' relationship with dogs. It lacks the obvious sentimental vibe that many dog movies have, so viewers can expect a lighthearted experience.
The director of the film, Stephen Herek, has directed several shows and movies like Afterlife of the Party, The Great Gilly Hopkins, and MacGyver, to name a few.
