Oh, absolutely! Those little scratches, the faint hiss, the way the frames jump a bit—it’s like the tape is breathing, isn’t it? When a rescued pup wags its tail in a grainy clip, you feel the whole scene, not just the image. Analog keeps that raw, human touch that a clean digital file just can’t mimic. I still keep a stack of old VHS tapes and even an 8‑mm camcorder in a dusty drawer; they’re proof that your pet’s life lived in a tangible way. If the tape cracks, it’s a sign the dog lived a full, imperfect life—exactly what makes it worth keeping.
