This is the Citizen Kane of love stories involving a dog

jdnjtx

Nikki Deloach (Nikki) delivers once again in this "barktastic" love story. The on screen chemistry between her and Michael Rady was reminiscent of Tolstoy's Anna Karenina and Count Vronsky. You couldn't help but root for Nikki, the supremely talented cartoonist and erstwhile scorned lover, to find the true love she so deserves. Michaela Russell and Max Ivutin play the adorable children Sophia and Owen, whose love for the same dog is the catalyst for their parents to find love in each other. Set against the stunning backdrop of Savannah, "Love to the Rescue" will melt the heart of even the most steely Hallmark connoisseur. On top of the impeccable script, the casting and direction of the extras was spot on, with the performances in the café, office, and theater scenes being exceptional. Director Steven Monroe elevated his game to the level of Mervyn LeRoy's "Quo Vadis" or DeMille's "The Ten Commandments" with a stunning aesthetic that is sure to remain a benchmark for decades to come. Bravo, Hallmark!
