Dog is taken hundreds of miles from home. Dog escapes to find its way back home. Dog faces dangers along the way. Dog has emotional reunion with its owner. Sound familiar? Remember The Incredible Journey? This is basically it with some not-so-subtle liberal LGBTQ moralism thrown in, which made me want to toss my dog biscuits. I'm just glad the gay couple didn't kiss; I would have left and demanded a refund. The movie is a predictable story, not especially compelling, and definitely not believable. The cougar is obviously a computer-generated creation, and not very realistic. Oh, and the cougar just happens to show up to save the dog from coyotes. If you want some good family entertainment, skip the $7 popcorn and rent The Incredible Journey. As for this movie...at least the scenery was nice.
