Every episode in Dogs is great, but this one inspires on multiple levels! This story is so remarkable and uplifting. It is impossible not to love Zeus and all of the characters in this film. We need more films like this.
True heroes

I have just watched this episode and I have no words to describe how powerful it is. In so many levels anyone who watches this is astonished! The unconditional love of a dog, the terrible war in Syria, true friendship, loneliness but also hope. We see a glimpse of the better nature of human beings. All my wishes to these boys, stay safe and healthy and enjoy many years with Zeus. Bravo Zeus!!!!

I watched all of the episodes in this Netflix Series and two of them really touched me beyond mere words-Bravo Zeus and Ice. I can't tell you how many times I've returned to the part where Zeus and his owner finally reunite. The sheer, unbridled joy expressed by Zeus had me laughing and crying at the same time. He was so excited to finally see the man who cared for him as a pup until he had to run for his life and entrust Zeus to a friend until he could settle into a new life and smuggle Zeus out of Syria. Zeus could not be contained! He jumped, chirped, whined, barked and was all over his best pal. Ironically, one friend helping with the smuggling operation worried that Zeus wouldn't remember the man since it had been two years and Zeus was very young when he had to leave. He believed it was going to take a long time for Zeus to settle in and for them to rebuild their relationship. No problem on that score. This episode is also remarkable as to what so many people can and will do to reunite a man and his dog. In addition to the story of Zeus, it also shows life in bombed out Syria and young men not wanting to die in an endless war, so they choose to leave their homeland forever using a coyote to smuggle him into Lebanon.
The story of Ice is a tale of love and being in total synch and harmony. The dog is a member of the family and is treated as such, even sitting at the dining table. Sadly, dogs age so quickly and then people have to face the prospect of losing that family member way before they're ready to. The tale of the restaurant owner/fisherman and his family (Ice included) is a way to look at a rapidly declining way of life. A very solid and emotional show-I got a bit teary-eyed each time I watched it.
I highly recommend both of these episodes.

Wow this story really touched me. Every person in this story showed so much selflessness, kindness & compassion. Helping Zeus get home to Berlin was anything but an easy task and yet this amazing friends and people made it happen. Such a heartbreaking and heartwarming story. Must watch!
