Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey/Heartwarming

Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey

• The trio reuniting with their family.
  • Shadow reuniting with Peter.
    • Can be seen here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8h4hkn_9Be8
• Shadow's speech about why dogs attach themselves to humans:

Shadow: ...I shouldn't have made her come.
Chance: It's not your fault, she wanted to come.
Shadow: But it's my responsibility. I had a responsibility to Sassy, to love her and protect her. The same as I have to you... and to Peter. And the same as you have to Jamie.
Chance: But we didn't ask for this job.
Shadow: We didn't have to. It's built in. Has been ever since the dawn of time, when a few wild dogs took it upon themselves to watch over man -- to bark when he's in danger, to run and play with him when he's happy, to nuzzle him when he's lonely. That's why they call us man's best friend.

• It is a well-known fact that it is impossible for anyone who has ever loved a golden retriever to watch this movie without crying.
• Call it shmaltz and glurge all you want, but I dare anyone to watch the scenes with the little girl lost in the mountains without shedding at least one tear, especially when she and her parents are reunited.
• When Sassy is reunited with Chance and Shadow. ^[1]

Homeward Bound II: Lost in San Francisco
