At first there were a lot things that were out of sync for my very scientific mind and I was bothered by this film...but as it wore on, I gave up picking it apart and just watched the connection between the wolf and the boy...both trying to survive and get back to their families.

I can see why a lot of people like this film, the wolf-dog hybrids are really compelling. They are gorgeous and very sympathetic. It's neat to see the boy when he gets separated from his tribe first be afraid of and then bond with the dog.

Out on a hunting expedition with part of his tribe, Keda falls off a cliff. Appearing injured beyond rescue and trapped on a ledge, his tribe considers him dead and heads home. Keda is awakened by opportunistic vultures and begins a long arduous trip home.

This really pulls on the heart strings and maybe to those individuals who lead with their hearts this is a wonderful film.
