But when animal control deems Bella dangerous (because she's part pit) and threatens euthanasia, Lucas teaches her a game called "Go Home" in which she races back to their house. After Lucas is forced to place Bella in the temporary care of Olivia's aunt and uncle in New Mexico, Bella believes she must play "Go Home" and begins her long, perilous journey home. Shelby was living in a junk yard in rural Tennessee. She was picked up by animal control and, when her photograph showed up on social media, she looked like she could be the perfect fit we were looking for.
I never saw any of the things these other reviews point out. I went home and hugged my two American Staffordshire Terriers very tight. My 9 year old son couldn't make it past the first 1/3 of the movie he was crying so badly.

After weeks of non stop training and movie scenes, the movie is finished. Everyone loves Shelby and her amazing personality and everyone loved her being the star of the movie. In Shelby's Story you read about how amazing she is and her journey of life, it really makes you want to get a dog .
Just thinking about it is probably enough to make you run home to hug your own furry source of unconditional love. The megaphone that the family had used to call for him during the search is still prominently displayed at the Marshall house. On Oct. 25 at 2 a.m., Marshall’s mother received a call from a police officer reporting that Gonker had been spotted eating from trash cans behind a ski resort. The pooch had wandered an incredible 111 miles in 15 days, covering at least seven miles a day, looking for a way home. “The family is fearful that is hungry, confused and frightened,” an Oct. 15 news story read. The family began getting tips — few of them helpful.

My 4.5 yo daughter wanted to watch this since we just got a puppy. My sensitive 8 yo son cried throughout, and we all thought the situations the main character, a rescued dog named Bella, went through, we’re horrible. We pushed through to show them that everything ended up ok, but it was tough.
Bruce Cameron also co-wrote the script for the film adaptation ofA Dog’s Way Home. Along the way, he begins to lose all hope and asks God to give him a sign. He even gets flashbacks of all the times he neglected his family and is constantly bothered by negative thoughts surrounding his son’s disappearance. That’s when another troubled father, Ed, who previously lost his son—also named Joe— in a tragic accident, joins the search party. While the entire neighborhood shows support and helps Randy find his son, Ed goes the extra mile to find Little Joe.
Movie Review: A Dog’s Way Home
It made $3.3 million on its first day, including $535,000 from Thursday night previews. It went on to have a debut of $11.3 million, finishing third at the box office, behind The Upside and holdover Aquaman. In its second weekend the film made $7.1 million, finishing sixth. However, Bella misses Lucas and leaves Farmington and begins a 400-mile journey home, which will take more than two years to complete. The three men give Bella food at their campsite and upon learning who her owner is, try to call Lucas, only to be scared away by the sudden arrival of Big Kitten.
He calls the city about the cats who live there, which delays the demolition. When Gonker first took off, Marshall searched but found no sign of his beloved pet. He worried about Gonker’s ability to withstand the cold and feared that the mutt might be mistaken for a deer and shot by a hunter. Worst of all, Gonker would soon need a fresh injection, and if he wasn’t found within about two weeks, he’d die. She arrived in my life when I was just beginning to connect some of the dots in my memory to make a picture of who I was, forming my identity as a child. I remember every skinned knee and bicycle ride in the context of Cammie, who was always there for me.
He even thought about all the times when he ignored his family. While Bella has a loving home, this isn’t the case for most real-life pit bulls. Countless pit bulls spend their lives chained on a dirt patch, surrounded by waste and being bitten bloody by flies in the summer and shivering inside leaky, ramshackle doghouses in the winter. Many others are thrown into dogfighting rings to rip each other to shreds (and are electrocuted, drowned, or hanged if they “lose”) and beaten, starved, and taunted to make them “mean” and intimidating.
Her life changed the day a sweet understanding girl named Megan saved her. After Shelby got adopted and drove across the U.S. she began to learn what love was and what it was like to have a family. Throughout the novel Shelby becomes a movie star dog. She goes through lots of training to be the best she can.
After everything that happened, he started giving his family a lot more time and even got himself involved with community service. Ultimately, all it takes is a brief moment of grief to make Randy realize that he was on the wrong path all this while. Cameron is like Nicholas Sparks, but for pet stories; his crowd-pleasing, tearjerking work focuses on the powerful love between humans and their dogs.
Love knows no boundaries and there is no better living proof of this than dogs. "It was emotional. She's a big movie star now, but she gave me kisses," says Buhler. "It made me value my job a lot more. My everyday. I helped an animal out in the best way to have a better life." After filming wrapped, Shelby moved on to humanitarian work. Adopted by trainer Debbie Pearl, the dog is a therapy animal for children with autism or in the hospital, much like Bella, who soothes veterans in the movie. Megan Buhler, the animal control officer in Cheatham County who found the dog, said Shelby was "a little skinny and a little scared" at first.
Lucas and Olivia are happy to see Bella and manage to move into a house in Golden, where they allow Pitbulls. Meanwhile, Big Kitten is revealed to be a mother herself as she and her daughter watch over the city of Denver. It was released in the United States on January 11, 2019, to mixed reviews from critics and grossed $80 million worldwide. By day 13, nearly every avenue for finding Gonker had been exhausted. Marshall and his father were reduced to desperately shouting the animal’s name into the darkness on a rainy night.
