Film About A Dog

[soxmis_sid]

Does anyone remember a movie which was shown on Sky movies maybe ten years ago about the life of a small dog which details it's life along side the little boy who owns it?
I think the boy goes off to college near the end leaving the dog at home with his parents.

Perhaps 'My Dog Skip' ?

Thank you so much.
I've been trying to remember the name of this film for so long!
