There was a few things that I didn't get why Angus did things like At one point he has access to a dead deer and a cabin, yet he continues on walking, my mom use to say to me if I ever get lost to stay put, and then see will come looking. But Angus just keeps walking farther and farther away from his rescuers while his mom and dad were at home worrying. I did find The story was a little clichéd but that what I expected with a family Movie. we are shown shots of dead animals and insets and of Angus and yellow eating them which I didn't like, and if you don't know I am a vegetarian. And I found it upsetting. there were some intense scenes which at times i was like fighting to sit down The plot line is very simple, you can pretty much figure out the whole storyline The bond between Angus and his dog sends a message of loyalty and love. I really liked the dog, yellow and it made me want to cuddle my dogs.Angus was funny, my fav charter has to be yellow, the dog and Angus they was so cute together and they made a good team and I think there acting was good. I liked that it didn't have strong language, nudity, or extreme violence im pretty sure I got this movie on video tape when I was little, just when dvds where starting to come out. I had it when my first tooth came out instead of a pound and I really it and I was trying to remember the name of the movie and I was on YouTube and saw the trailer and descried to watch it again. I really liked The landscapes. there was a happy ending, and I couldn't help myself from bursting into tears.

Dog owners and lovers need their heroes too. And they have one – more than one – in this movie. "Far From Home: The Adventures of Yellow Dog" is unlike any other dog story. For starters, it's not just a boy and dog story. There have been some very good ones of those – "Old Yeller," "Where the Red Fern Grows." Nor is it about humor, mysteries and dog detectives as in the Lassie and Rin Tin Tin serials. This is also an adventure story, a father-son story, a family story, a survival story and a story about the sea and the wilds. To describe too many details would detract from the enjoyment, so I won't go into the plot. But with all of this, "Far From Home" has some of the most spectacular scenery and cinematography in any movie made from the late 20th century to the present. The setting of the film is along the Pacific Coast of British Columbia – probably Vancouver Island, although it isn't specific. The ocean and coastal scenes were shot in the Pacific Rim National Park, along the middle coast of Vancouver Island. The island is the largest on the west coast of North America. It stretches 290 miles from South to North and 50 miles at its widest. It covers 12,407 square miles. Vehicle travel to and from the island is by ferries that run between ports on the B.C. mainland and the State of Washington in the U.S. While Victoria, the provincial capital of B.C. is located on the southern tip of the island, and some other towns of size run halfway up the inside passage, most of the land is rugged and heavily forested. Another key filming location was Hope, B.C., and the nearby Coquihalla Canyon Provincial Park. Several movies have been filmed at least in part in Hope since the first Rambo movie with Sylvester Stallone – "First Blood" in 1981. The nearby canyon is where the scene was shot with helicopter gunmen shooting at Stallone. One can imagine that certain shots in "Far From Home" were also filmed there. Hope is a beautiful place to visit. The Fraser River runs by the town, where the Coquihalla River joins it. The nearby canyon park has the Othello Tunnels with very scenic walking trails over an abandoned rail line. Just be sure to visit during July and August – the low rain times. The town gets 75 plus inches of rain a year, and it is often misty, foggy or just plain wet much of the other 10 months of the year. "Far From Home" is not a kid's movie, but kids of all ages will enjoy it – from 6 to 96.

All I have to say is that this movie is one of the greatest I have seen. It makes you laugh, cry and feel good. I especially like the bond between Angus (Jesse Bradford)and the dog. Its an unforgettable movie. If you have not seen it yet, go see it.

There should be more of this kind of film. This is one that the family could watch and enjoy. I find the best movies need not to have all of the bad language to make them enjoyable. It may be that someday the film industry may get the message.
