Bobby is a single dad living with his daughter in Chicago. His daughter, sick and tired of being dragged along, comes across a doberman pincer in a run-down part of town and decides to look after it. After the dog ends up left in an animal shelter, it finds its way back to the girl, only for Bobby to tell her that it looks like a fighting dog (used in an illegal dog-fighting ring), and that she needs to get rid of it. On the run from mobsters, he allows the girl to bring the dog with her, only to lock it behind the fence of a chemical factory, driving away and taking his daughter with him. Little does he know that the dog is following them on their journey, hoping to be reunited with its new best friend forever.
What an excellent film! I'm not usually a fan of dog stories but this one isn't just about a dog. It's an adventure film with great acting, catchy soundtrack and is supposedly based on true events. There's no crude humor, which most dog movies have, so it was great to find a decent, tasteful movie where its humor depends more on the situation. And the dog was really cool, sort of like one of the animals out of that 'The Incredible Journey' book but with a much more interesting backstory. Why this film has such low ratings I'll never understand, I thought it was great! Definitely worth looking at, I highly recommend it.
