A Dog's Way Home

A stray puppy, Bella, is taken in by young man, Lucas. Everything seems to be going fine but Lucas has annoyed a property developer who uses his connections to have Bella impounded. In order for Lucas to prevent Bella from being permanently locked up, Lucas sends her to live with another family over 600 kms away. However, Bella is determined to find her way home.

Sweet, emotional movie about a boy and his dog, told from the dog's perspective. Hardly original - movies like Lassie Come Home (1943) and The Incredible Journey (1963) have covered the central plot before - but it works, very well.

Having the story told from the dog's perspective helps too, as does some delightfully funny scenes. There's a wonderful warmth and engagement to proceedings.

Highly recommended, especially for dog lovers.

I must be honest, I didn't really enjoy the first 30 minutes of the film. The animal sound effects were quite bad and I just didn't find anything believable.

The film only started to interest me once the dog was lost, and started his journey home. The film features some good CGI effects, and the scenery was beautiful. In general, this is a very special adventure drama any dog lover will relate to - similar to 'The Incredible Journey'. Beautiful ending.

The storyline is cute, but certainly not the best story out there. There were so much CGI and it looked so obviously CGI that I couldn't stand it. There were really sweet scenes, and none of them were cringey, so I appreciated that. The ladies in the movie with me LOVED the humor in the story, they laughed, they cried, they oohed and ahhed and awwed... Very sweet.

The pace of the movie could be smoother and better edited... the only way you tell "time" was the season, but it didn't feel like time has passed between the scenes. The acting was great, and kids will obviously love this movie. I really appreciated how the story talked about breed discrimination, or "racism for dogs". Pit bulls are believed to be this vicious, dangerous dogs and the story did a great job showing the sweet side of pitties. LOVE PIT BULLS!!!

Loved it. Better than Benji, Lassie, and Old Yeller combined. Dog has an epic adventure trying to return to her "person" - lots of belly laughs, lots of tears. Plot and storyline was great, my 8 year old twin girls thoroughly loved it (and will probably watch it again once it comes out on Prime).

Can't believe there would be a negative review on this. Took my 3 year old and she enjoyed the whole thing, as did I. Reviews with any mentioned politics are very closed minded reviewers. This has a well delivered heart warming adventure. Enjoy
