DANIELLE’S TOP PICK OF THE WEEK
This week’s selection is A Dog’s Way Home.
While the dog doesn’t die in A Dog’s Way Home, you’ll want to bring along some Kleenex for all of the emotional moments in this film.
If you’re a dog owner, you already know about the unconditional bond of love with your four-legged friend. They come running to the door as soon as you come home because you mean so much to them. We care about them so much that it hurts when we have to put them down in order to end their pain.
We meet Bella (voice of Bryce Dallas Howard) as a tiny puppy when her mother and siblings get ripped away from her. Chances are they weren’t meant to have strong parallels to what’s happening along the border with ICE but you can’t help but think about it. It’s not long thereafter when med student/VA hospital volunteer Lucas (Jonah Hauer-King) and girlfriend Olivia (Alexandra Shipp) checks in on some kittens. Much to his surprise, Bella comes running to him. When you know, you know–so Lucas becomes Bella’s human. Lucas takes her home to live with him and his army veteran mother, Terri (Ashley Judd).
