Far from Home: The Adventures of Yellow Dog [VHS] - Classic Family Adventure Movie for Kids, Perfect for Movie Nights and Outdoor-Themed Gatherings

Very good movie about surviving, During a storm Angus says to his Dad that he must check his boat. A dog & his young owner must do what they can for about 2 1/2 weeks before being rescued. Looking for the boy Angus Mc Cormick (Bruce Davidson) does cost a lot of money. & it out there where there is so many trees & mountains its like trying to find a needle in a haystack. The dog was lucky not to hit the rocks when he fell back into the river when they were found in the ravine. They fight off a pack of wolves, mountain lions. Out there in the wilderness your skills & knowledge are put to the test. He had to decide what his best chances were of someone finding him, were they (Him staying put until someone sees him) He mentions to his dog that he didn't want to starve, The dog himself was absent off & on, hunting for game or perhaps a dead deer carcass, making circles to make sure there weren't anymore vicious animals close by. I think that's what the dog was doing. He does consider hiking to a small cabin on the mountain to be better off attracting attention from a plane or helicopter. He finds no food. Here in this movie the bond between Angus & his dog is so strong they're inseparable. & the dog suffers no injuries in the movie at all, near the end it hurts to lose a pet whether or not its permanent or temporary. The dog finds his way home, That's the best part about the movie. He wasn't a goner. In real life you can't always expect to see your dog again. Not all of them find their way home. This one did, & that's what makes the ending so good. Angus had received a whistle that came in real handy in the dog food bag which was designed for the sound to travel a long ways. I think dogs are everything. The boy never gave up his faith, nor being confident. I think that's what I like about the movie. & he used every method he could think of. Being ready for a new plan in case the plan he had before failed. Dogs are good company in those types of situations.I'd recommend this movie to anyone who loves dogs!!!
