Not to mention the incredible directing of these animals for the over all shots of the film. INCREDIBLE!!!

The thing that really makes this movie, is that the voice actors were very appropriate for each animal. A young MJ Fox as Chance, the playful, naive, risk-taking pup. Sally Field as spoiled, quippy, and queenly Sassy. And Don Ameche as the trusty, honorable and wise Shadow. IMHO, it's Ameche's unique voice that lends itself perfectly to this role. Just hearing it conveys all the things that one would think you would hear if Shadow could talk. His voice is unmistakably elderly, yet venerable, and it absolutely shepherds our emotions into a place where we can relate to having lost and then found those beloved animals that have somehow become a part of our lives, even if only for a short while. I love this scene so much. RIP Don Ameche, and thank you for giving us this little gem of nostalgia from our childhood.

The Golden Retriever has always been and will always be the all American dog. The true family dog that would go to the ends of the earth for their owners and shows the utmost love for them. I know it’s just a film, but when Shadow said “Peter, I worried about you so” it shows the devotion and love that he has for his owner. Shadow was an old man who just went though an exhausting and painful journey that surprisingly didn’t kill him. Shadow was the one that was in danger, yet he was more worried about Peter, his owner, who was safe at home than he was about himself. He loved him and cared for him the way a Grandfather does for his Grandson.

I can tell you from 21 years now of owning 3 golden retrievers, 1 girl and 2 boys at different times in my life, that Goldens are the absolute best breed of dog in the entire world. My 3rd golden, a male named Levi, passed away from a brain tumor last month. He was 9.5, and I had the most special and incredible bond with him. He was my best friend, loyal companion, adventurous, playful, and had the most beautiful and fun personality. If your considering getting a golden, do it. They enrich our lives with so much love, joy and happiness. Just make sure to get from a great registered breeder. And do your research! 🙂🐕
