What people are saying.
“What a joyful film! You clearly have a deep love for your subjects, dogs and people alike, and it was a treat to be allowed in to your world to get to know them...and (by extension) you! Thanks for sharing part of your world with us!”
— Mark (Brooklyn, NY)
“OMGGGGGGG This was heartwarming to watch and now I love my dog Negroni even more!! Great film!!!”
— Brittney (Brooklyn, NY)
“That was sooo heart-warming. As if I didn’t want to rescue a dog enough already, that just made me want one more. Such an impactful self-expression project for a good cause!”
— Serena (NYC)
“Absolutely amazing, beautiful, relatable and heartwarming. From the most touching moments captured by those who have loved and lost to the joy that was shared by all who participated. And ultimately the breathtaking Zen of your cinematography, this was a beautiful film. We thoroughly enjoyed it! Dogs do have a way of bringing people together. Give Mona a kiss for me.”
— Lisa (Long Island, NY)
“I absolutely loved the film! I enjoyed every minute of it! You did such a wonderful job covering every aspect of a dog & owners life! Thank you for letting me be a part of it. I appreciate that. It was great seeing all those familiar dog & human faces I know, and everyone's part in the film. Thank you! You did an amazing job!”
— Patti & Bill (Queens, NY)
“Thank you so much for making your movie. Wonderful, sweet and beautiful story telling. We really enjoyed meeting your friends and their humans. Cheers to Mona, you, your family, to all the dog people we know, and to our dogs who make us better people.”
— Marty (Milwaukee, Wi)
“Terry, that was wonderful!!!!!! Sadly, we have cats. So, we REALLY love dogs. And it is just the thing we all need right now! Thank you so much!!!”
— C.O. Moed (Brooklyn, NY)
“Even a cat person like me can relate to this film. The love between Terry and Mona is obvious, as is the love between the other dogs and their owners. It almost makes me jealous since my cats barely get along with each other, let alone other felines.”
— Julian S. (Staten Island, NY)
“For those of us who have loved a dog, Loving Mona brings back all the love we felt and hope to feel again. The film takes us through many love affairs with different dogs and their humans. Even if you don’t have a dog this film will give you all the reasons why dogs are loved and why they are all truly part of the family.”
— Ozzie (NYC)
“Thank you so much for making such a wonderful and heartwarming movie. I totally enjoyed every minute of it and cried at the thought of the Rainbow Bridge. I have had several dogs throughout my life, and every loss is the worst heartbreak ever. I currently have my little Nikki, a Shih Tzu and my emotional support animal, who will be celebrating her 15th birthday on October 17th. You can only imagine how worried I am about her age but can only pray that she stays healthy and happy for as long as possible. I love the relationship you share with Mona, and I wish you many more years of happiness. Again, thank you for your delightful and enjoyable take on life in Queens with our best friends. Love from your new friends in Forest Hills.”
— Sandy & Nikki (Forrest Hills, NY)
