Synopsis
The film focused on the adventures of Shadow, Sassy, and Chance. At home home with their owners, the animals are uneasy housemates during the best of times. Shadow is the old, wise one and presumably the leader of the three. Sassy is the smart-aleck of the bunch but helpful in times as well. Chance is the young, anxious one who is usually the one that gets into trouble and relies on the other two to assist him but he comes in handy sometimes as well. The family decides to take a trip to Canada and this time decides to take the animals along as well. At the airport in San Francisco the animals escape while being loaded into the airplane. In the first film, the animals had to venture through the wilderness of America in order to be reunited with their families but in the sequel they must venture through the urban areas of San Francisco where they must evade dangerous, street-wise animals, animal control units, and illegal dog catchers. With assistance from others dogs and by helping each other, the animals make the journey and once again are reunited with their owners.Awards & Nominations
