An imaginary first-person account of a Stray puppy, Bella's (played by Shelby the Pitbull with Bryce Dallas Howard giving voice) life after it was rescued from a dump by Lucas (Jonah Hauer-King) and his VA mother Terri (Ashley Judd), 'A Dog's Way Home' is exactly what the title suggests. Bella is separated from Lucas and Terri and finds herself on a 400-mile long journey to reunite with her beloved adopted family. Along the way, the lost but spirited Bella learns some hard-fought survival skills, plays mother to an orphaned mountain lion, becomes a faithful companion to a destitute Veteran, is responsible for saving the life of a man buried in an avalanche and also befriends some strangers who cross her path.
