A Dog's Way Home
Short description
A Dog's Way Home follows Bella, a dog who lives with Lucas, a young medical student. When circumstances separate her from him, she ends up far from home and sets out on a long journey to get back, covering hundreds of miles of wilderness along the way. Her bond with Lucas drives her forward, and she meets various people and animals who leave a mark on her travels.

Bruce Cameron and Cathryn Michon wrote the screenplay, and Cameron produced it with Gavin Polone.

On IMDb it holds a 6.7 rating from 23,000 votes, while on TMDB it stands at 7.4 from 1,200 votes. The critics' rating of 5.4 from 79 reviews is lower than both audience scores.
What's left behind the scenes
- Instead of coyotes, wolf-coyote hybrids were used in the film. Wolves inhabit the northwestern American states, the northern parts of the Great Lakes region, and Canada, and have gray and white fur, while coyotes have coats of chestnut, yellowish-brown, gray, and white colors. Neither are rarely black. Coyote-wolf hybrids inhabit the northeastern United States and eastern Canada.
- Adult Bella is played by a dog named Shelby, who was found at a landfill in Tennessee.
