Sony Pictures’ A DOG’S WAY HOME on Digital 3/26 and Blu-ray and DVD 4/9
Disclosure: I was sent a copy of “A Dog’s Way Home” to facilitate my review. All opinions are my own.
I love movies that are about dogs. Especially after we watched “A Dog’s Purpose” and “A Dog’s Journey” I knew I would have to see A Dog’s Way Home. A Dog’s Way Home is a heartwarming story of a puppy that is rescued from an abandoned house. His mother was taken away by the local animal control officer so he is left living with cats. They ‘adopt’ him and he adopts the one cat as his mother.
The story takes a turn when the local animal control officer finds out that Bella is living with Lucas and his Mom and pit bulls (as they seem to refer to Bella as) are not allowed to be in city limits. Bella is fine as long as she is confined to their home, but as we know dogs like to be out and about and can escape their confines. Watch as Bella makes her 400-mile journey which spans almost 2 years to find her way back to her Lucas.
I watched this movie twice and enjoyed it both times. My granddaughter who is 8 said it was scary to her in parts but I think it was more envisioning her own dog Elli going through what Bella did. I feel it is age appropriate for the family and will be enjoyed for years to come. You can get “A Dog’s Way Home” on Amazon here on digital or grab your copy on Blu-ray here and you can also purchase the book here.
