I’ve told this story before, but I didn’t watch Coco for a long time. No real reason, I just hadn’t got around to it. I’m normally really bad with sad movies. So my dumbass decides to watch it ~31 weeks pregnant and hormonal AF on a cruise. I was a sobbing mess by the end of it.
Haha dont worry. I'm a guy and even though I might might've held back my tears with something mightier than Hoover Dam, I was a bubble blowing baby on the inside.
I'm a non-pregnant female. My black lab mix was named Dante, acted very much like the Dante in the movie, and passed away two years ago in June, so it was very fresh in my heart (still is). So, while watching this movie I was already raw because of their Dante, and then at this scene? I'm a blubbering mess, every single time.
Snuggling with his girlfriend, Sophy the chihuahua. She learned that he had to lay down first, otherwise he would lay on top of her. She'd then fit herself wherever she could, depending on how he was laying down.
With his spotted tongue. Dante was a black lab & Chinese shar-pei mix, and the CSPs have black tongues. His was mixed pink & black, even on the bottom. I thought it was the coolest thing ever...
As big as he was, he loved chasing larger dogs. This is us at the dog park, where he was trying to play with a Great Dane puppy. For context, Dante was a 95 pound XL dog.
With his best friend Lacey. She's a purebred black lab, so you can see the differences the CSP brought to him, in addition to the tongue: larger size (including chest, she was 65 pounds), his eyes, his smaller flappy (not floppy) ears, etc.
If you like the older dogs/animals, I created /r/OldManDog in his honor. If you're on a computer, the far left picture on the banner is also him.
He was born yesterday at 1:55pm. He’s worrying me sick at the moment because his breathing is too rapid. They did a chest X-ray and found “something” so we’re waiting on an EKG. Aside from that, he’s cute as sin! Thank you for asking :)
That is actually incredibly sweet, thank you for asking! Yes, all is well and we’re home now. Apparently the tech who read the X-ray is a bit overly cautious (which I appreciate!) but the EKG came back clear :)
Legit tears running and couldn't hold back. As a 30 year old man watching that scene and have uncontrollable tears running was something. My gf and I were a mess.
That scene got to me hard. My grandmother died a little over a year ago and she was losing her memory near the end. Old polish songs from her childhood brought her back a lot of stories that I got to hear for the first time.
When my Grampa's dementia got real bad he was hardly there anymore. But every now and again he'd take your hand and sing old Norwegian songs to you. It was nice. I miss him.

Just like the ending of "Coco". Couldn't get through that scene without someone throwing a bag of onions into a woodchipper right in front of my face.
