    • Trivia
      The film is dedicated to the memory of the 26 dogs and 25 handlers that have been killed in the service of their country since 2003.
    • Goofs
      Lufkin, Texas in July has a temperature that ranges from 90° to 99° Fahrenheit with intense humidity. Wearing light jackets and fuzzy hats while riding bikes through the woods would be very uncomfortable there, but suitable in North Carolina where the movie was filmed.

    My new best movie!!!

    I recently watched this movie and really liked it !! This movie is so much better than other new, cool movies !! It's not just about sex and brutality ! And not just a doggy family adventure movie !! It has serious content !! How an animal (dog) can change a person's life Not a perfect movie! There are mistakes!! BUT let's look at its content and not just for kids !! One of the most significant movies I have ever seen for me !! I recommend anyone to watch and not just watch brutal, scary, horrible movies !! Such a movie is much more valuable than other famous big movies !

    +I'm sorry about the second part😥😥 The real is family adventure movie with no more content !! I was expecting more from a MAX 2 !!
