The next feature film in the Opera House Cinema Series is “A Dog’s Way Home,” the heartwarming story of a lost dog’s journey home. It will be screened this Saturday and Tuesday, March 26, at 7:30 p.m.

As a puppy, Bella finds her way into the arms of Lucas, a young man who gives her a good home. When Bella becomes separated from Lucas, she soon finds herself on an epic 400-mile journey to reunite with her beloved owner. Along the way, the lost but spirited dog touches the lives of an orphaned mountain lion, a down-on-his-luck veteran and some friendly strangers who happen to cross her path.

Courtney Howard, in Variety, calls the film a “family-friendly adventure, reminiscent of ‘The Incredible Journey’.” Tomris Laffly, on RogerEbert.com, calls it “a good dog movie with its heart in the right place.” J. Don Birnam, in Splash Report , says it’s “an adorable, heart-warming story for kids and dogs and nature lovers alike … a big, warm, therapy blanket, like a comfort dog itself.” Rated PG for thematic elements, some peril and language, “A Dog’s Way Home” runs one hour, 37 minutes.
