Wilfred (2011)

In the middle of his attempted suicide, he is asked to watch his neighbor's dog, Wilfred (Jason Gann), but Ryan can only see Wilfred as a real person instead of an animal that everyone else sees. As they begin to bond more and become friends, Wilfred teaches Ryan a life lesson about people, love, and living.
