the homosexuality in the movie was completely unnecessary. from the rainbow collar on the dog and the camera focusing on the men's wedding bands, it wasn't needed at all in a kid's movie

Great family movie! Made us tear up a few times. At one point my 6 year old looks at me with tears flowing out of her eyes and says “mommy, my eyes have water coming out and it won’t stop”but she was also smiling... it was the cutest thing ever! This movie is for dog…

This movie was a tear jerker for me, but I’m also pregnant. It was the cutest (also intense) movie I’ve ever seen. I have to say I’ve never seen Marley and Me so if I ever did that would be the best movie, not this one. But this one was really good too😭😊

Bella is definitely man's best friend. This story was told to perfection. Must see family movie. You will hear straight to the Humane Society to adopt a pet after this one.

Nothing new here; it's a rehash of Homeward Bound with fewer dogs. If you've seen the trailer, you've seen the movie.

A faithful adaption of the hit novel to the point where it only brings small changes to give a new experience to fans. Terrible animation plague this film. The CG fight between a cougar and coyotes is so bad the terrible frame rate and special effects makes the scene nearly…

A old-fashioned corny movie that unabashedly takes direct aim at your heart strings with scenes that are way too cute! Yep, your gonna laugh, your eyes are going to well up a bit. Good clean fun. My family, including my teenagers, loved it.

Heartwarming tale of rescue dog Bella who is separated from her family but comes back to them after a two year trek through Colorado's wild. A must for dog lovers everywhere!

The most heartfelt, sentimental, movie I’ve seen in a long time. Beyond emotional and inspiring. Developed a bigger love for dogs and those who have served in the Military . My 9 year old absolutely adored it. Must See

As for a family PG movie the homosexuals in the movie was completely out of line. And the y had rings and all on. At the end this couple they did not have rings on or that they were married. I think it was lacking in morals.

With her sweet face, alert eyes, and a tail that forever waves in the air like a maestro’s baton, this is a dog worth following, no matter the breed.

This year’s entry into the winter animal-movie canon, A Dog’s Way Home, comes this close to just being a simple, cute animal movie, until the humans complicate things.

Putting a dog in crisis might seem like an easy way to create a great story, but in a family film, featuring a helpless canine in constant peril plays as emotionally manipulative and, frankly, slightly traumatizing. A Dog’s Way Home is a joyless jaunt that offers an adorable canine star and not much else.
