I love that my Dad always cried when Shadow plods up over the hill and says, “Peter. My boy.” 

When we moved up to WA, right after this film was released, he made sure he bought us a golden retriever right away. I swear, every time he held her, there were those tears from the finale of this film in his eyes. 

When she died, I grieved for her. But I grieved for what it meant to him more, to lose her. Whenever he caught her in his arms, you could almost see that last scene of Peter catching Shadow play out before you, with that same joy of a boy whose favorite thing in the world is being able to embrace his dog.

I can’t wait for him to have that for his own again. Lilo and Penny are great, but they’re not his. He is a boy who needs his own dog.
