In their published review by Edwin L. Carpenter, he writes, "This is a fascinating documentary . . .  a good one for the entire family with something to offer just about everyone. We gladly award this DVD our Dove 'Family-Approved' Seal." Out of a possible five stars (doves, actually) the film was rated four doves.

The Dove Foundation also owns and operates the Dove Movie Channel® which provides "wholesome, uplifting movies to patients in every children's hospital in America. This entertainment is free to the patient." A Dog's Life: The Oscar Lose Story is now eligible to be broadcast on the network this fall.

Nemours President Scott duPont notified PFC of the Dove Foundation award in an e-mail and wrote " Congratulations! I am guessing this is your 1st Dove Award? I am thrilled to death after researching how tough their standards are. This will help us sell the film to large family retailers like Wal-Mart, Christian bookstores and others who rely on the Dove seal of approval before purchasing product. This is a prestigious and much deserved award for an amazing film."
