A Dog’s Way Home chronicles the heartwarming adventure of Bella, a dog who embarks on an epic 400-mile journey home after she is separated from her beloved human.
This movie contains 6 potentially triggering events.
Bella doesn't die. But she is attacked by a pack of coyotes and is hit by a car in a horrific freeway scene.Very intense.Almost too much for this ex-marine. Kids will be horrified/terrified.I was.
Not necessarily. Bella was dropped off at the owner's grandparent's place until they could move somewhere where it was legal to own a Pitbull. However, she ran off on her own.
*SPOILER* The homeless man who takes in Bella, dies when they are near the water in the woods. We briefly see his motionless body but no face close-up is shown.
The main character is trapped mere feet from a water source by her leash. The person who leashed her dies, leaving her without anyone to water her. This can be distressing for viewers.
No, but one mountain hiker (or skier?) gets snowed under by a snow avalanche. He is however luckily rescued but there's a short scene where the dogs go look for the person.
The main cop often tries to capture the dog(s) and is portrayed as antagonistic. Only at the end of the movie, there's a confrontation between this cop and his superior, the latter condemning his subordinate's behaviour.
This film deals with Denver's ban on pit bulls (since repealed), which did not respect the ADA or FHA. The lack of respect animal control has for these federal civil rights laws comes across pretty clearly in the film.
At one point, Bella sustains some damage from living in the woods and fighting off a pack of coyotes. A few bloody scratch marks are shown and she limps on three paws.
