But not only is Cameron incorrigibly heavy-handed, director Charles Martin Smith plows through the darker material at a relentlessly cheerful kids’-movie clip, for an incongruous marriage of tone and subject matter that’s honestly a bit unsettling. That being said, your kids probably won’t have time to really internalize the nightmare scenario of finding a starving dog next to a dead body while out riding bikes as experienced by two minor characters in this movie. The oldest age recorded for a dog was an Australian Cattle Dog called Bluey.
After encountering further challenges, Bella finally makes it back to Denver, and she bids Big Kitten farewell before they part ways. She reaches the city's VA hospital, where she joyfully reunites with Lucas, Terri, and Olivia. Lucas prepares to take Bella to the vet to treat an injury Bella received due to being struck by a car, but when Lucas, Terri, and Lucas's friends bring Bella outside, Chuck arrives with several police officers, including police captain Mica. Chuck claims that he needs to confiscate Bella again, with the threat to have Lucas and anyone who interferes arrested otherwise. Captain Mica allows Lucas to keep Bella as he has no jurisdiction. Lucas and Olivia are happy to see Bella again and finally manage to move into a house in Golden, where they allow pitbulls.

The novel had a mostly positive reception because it shared a powerful message on how breed discrimination against dogs, especially the pitbulls, affected the dogs’ lives and their owners’ lives. This novel also taught readers that pitbulls are definitely not “dangerous” dogs, convinced the readers to stand up to the discriminating BSL and demand that city governments, especially in Denver, repeal this unfair law. The book was not without its critics like PETA who criticized the book for oversimplifying the Breed specific legislation issue and the perceived danger of pitbulls. Vengeful, Günter notifies animal control that Bella is a pitbull , because, in Denver, Pitbulls are illegal, due to being a dangerous breed. To avoid this, Lucas sends Bella to live with Olivia's aunt and uncle in Farmington, New Mexico, until he and his mother can find another home outside of Denver's urban limit.
