The dog did it on his own, and everyone thought it was hilarious, so they put it in the movie. Michael J. Fox adlibbed the lines right after it happened. Twenty seven animals including goats and sheep were said to have perished from dehydration, exhaustion or drowning on a New Zealand farm during filming.

Is chance from Homeward Bound still alive? In this adventure movie, a Golden Retriever Shadow , an American Bulldog Chance , and a Himalayan cat Sassy , travel on a cross-country voyage after being left a ranch while their owners are on vacation.
This movie was made in , 22 years ago. These animals are no longer alive. Do any animals die in Homeward Bound? It was this remarkable animal-kingdom kinship that inspired the author to write The Incredible Journey. Less than a year after its publication in , the book became an international bestseller.
Walt Disney immediately saw that this extraordinary story would make a compelling film. Released in , The Incredible Journey became an iconic Disney animal film.
Since audibly revealing the thoughts of the pets is integral to the story, the casting of the actors who could convey personality with their voices alone was crucial. Homeward Bound marked a return to Disney for Don as he had starred in the popular comedy The Boatniks The Animal Actors of Homeward Bound Each of the animal actors portraying the three four-footed leads worked for up to seven weeks before shooting even began. Each responded to voice and sound commands, and each was rewarded for its performance not with movie-star perks, but with liver treats.
The heart of Homeward Bound is of course the unusual bond between the three, which meant normal canine and feline conflict had to be dealt with.
Fortunately, he was adopted by Jamie and given a home. He has a very loose relationship with Jamie at first, because of the memory of his previous owner abandoned him.
His pet comrades are Shadow , a wise, old golden retriever and Sassy , a Himalayan cat who is constantly annoyed by Chance's antics and is usually tortured by him. During Bob and Laura Seaver's wedding, he ended up eating the wedding cake before the newlyweds could cut it, which eventually ended up working against him where it gave him indigestion and forced him to vomit up what was left of it after launching Sassy into the sandbox. Due to his immaturity, Chance has a tendency to get himself as well as his pet comrades in trouble.
He considers Shadow an old fusspot and calls him "old timer", but still has respect for him. His fear of going to "the bad place", AKA the pound, seen in the second film leads him and the others to be left behind.
The second film also implies he has a bit of a paranoid nature to him, as he vomited up a green kibble implied to be a sedative due to thinking the owners were going to do something bad to him and the other pets.
Chance narrates how he used to be a stray dog living his life as he saw it until one day it landed him in the dog pound. Not wanting to go into detail about his time there, he instead skips to when he was given his second chance when he was adopted by the Seaver family and now lived with them, being first seen chewing up some clothes while outside, the wedding between Bob and Laura was taking place.
When Sassy comes in to confront him, it is not long before Sassy provokes Chance into chasing her, causing a ruckus in the house that draws attention from the wedding guests outside and also from Shadow, who intends to deal with Chance before Peter talks him down, before the ceremony continues.
Later, during the reception, Chance is sniffing out the chef and tries begging for food, but the chef refuses. When Chance spots a large turkey and prepares to dig into it, Shadow growls a warning, but when Chance tells him off, Shadow threatens to alert the Seavers as he barks to try and get their attention, and Chance backs off.
He later decides to go after the wedding cake and ends up being caught devouring it when it came time for Bob and Laura to cut it. Later on outside, he has some fun at Sassy and Hope's expense when he uses the see-saw to catapult Sassy into the sandbox. While Hope takes a freaking out Sassy inside to tell Laura what happened, Chance gets his karmic payback for both that and eating the wedding cake earlier when he feels sick and throws it back up, to Peter and Jamie's disgust.
Apparently, this occurred in little enough time that he hadn't had time to properly digest the cake, as Jamie in particular immediately recognized the contents of the resulting vomit as being their maternal grandma's wedding cake.
Later on, the pets are taken by the Seavers to stay with their family friend Kate while getting settled back home. Chance takes to liking the farm but gets scared out of his mind when he encounters a large turkey while chasing the chickens.
When Kate decides to head out on a cattle drive, leaving the pets in the care of her friend Frank, this causes Chance to become uneasy, reminding him of the pound, but Shadow sees things differently, thinking the Seavers have been gone way too long and is deeply concerned.
Chance believes and accepts at first that they had been abandoned, having previously experienced that as a puppy, but Shadow refuses to agree. Refusing to believe the Seavers have abandoned them, Shadow decides that if Peter can't come to him, he's going to Peter. He's going home. Sassy decides to come with him, but Chance refuses, staying on the farm until the turkey reappears, frightening Chance into joining Shadow and Sassy as they prepare to make the long, dangerous trek through the Sierra Nevada mountain range to get back to the Seavers.
Along the way, they have a run-in with a pair of black bear cubs and a larger brown bear the latter implied to be the cubs' mother , before attempting to cross a river. Sassy tries using some rocks and a rotten tree trunk, but the trunk breaks when she's halfway across and she's swept over a waterfall to her presumed death. Chance and Shadow are forced to go on without her, mourning their loss with heavy hearts.
Later, they are attacked by a ferocious mountain lion. Thinking they are doomed, Chance tells Shadow where he hid all the stuff back home, but when he mentioned the seesaw, this gives Shadow an idea. Acting as a decoy, he lures the mountain lion onto one end of a large rock set up like a seesaw, so when Shadow gives Chance the signal, he jumps on the other end, flinging the mountain lion into the river.
As the humiliated feline retreats back into the woods soaked to the skin, Chance and Shadow bark in triumph, with Chance taking Sassy's earlier taunt to him of "cats rule and dogs drool" and changing it to "dogs rule and cats drool" as he tells off the mountain lion.
Sassy, who had survived the plunge over the waterfall and was nursed back to health by a local hermit named Quentin, hears their barking and heads off to reunite with them. Together again, the three continue onward, but Chance soon tries to befriend a porcupine, and in annoyance, it swats Chance with its tail, leaving several quills stuck in his muzzle.
As night falls, they find a little girl lost in the woods, and not able to leave her due to their loyalty as man's best friend, Chance and Shadow choose to stay with her all night, as does Sassy. The next morning, they hear the search party of the girl's parents, U. Forest Rangers, and rescue team, and Shadow leads them back to her location, allowing her to reunite with her parents and get medical attention.
The rangers then recognize Chance, Shadow, and Sassy from the lost pet posters put up by the Seavers when word came that the pets had left Kate's and were presumably heading home, and take them to the local animal shelter for the Seavers to reunite with them at. However, once there, Chance believes they've been taken to the pound and panics.
While he is taken to the medical room to have the porcupine quills removed, Shadow is taken to be put in one of the cages until the Seavers arrive, while Sassy was able to escape.
Sneaking back in, she frees Shadow, and the two of them free Chance from the medical room after the quills have all been removed, and escape back into the woods, unaware that the Seavers were coming to get them.
Soon, they see the city in the distance and realize they are almost back home. Only one obstacle is left for them: the local rail yard. After avoiding being hit by one of the diesel locomotives as it shuffles through the yard with its freight train, Shadow attempts to lead the way again but falls into a muddy sinkhole when the rotted wooden boards over it give way under his weight.
Horrified, Chance and Sassy see if he's alright and plead for him to try and climb his way out, but while Shadow initially attempts it, he soon realizes he's too old and gives up, lying down to essentially die right there in the hole. Chance, refusing to let Shadow simply give up, carefully makes his own way down into the hole and begins angrily and tearfully scolding Shadow for giving up when they are so close to home and to give it another shot, but Shadow seems too demoralized to even care and tells Chance he's on his own now.
The only thing he has left to do to learn from Shadow is how to say goodbye, but Chance still refuses to leave Shadow behind. In the end, Chance apparently is shown to have to leave Shadow behind after all and returns home to the Seavers to reunite with Jamie, with Sassy following shortly thereafter. However, Shadow was able to find a second wind, climb out of the hole, and reunite with Peter after all.
Chance is amazed when he sees Shadow reunite with Peter, thinking to himself that it seemed that years came off of Shadow when he was reunited with his boy. Happy to be home again, Chance runs back into the house when Jamie calls for him and is last heard shouting with joy at what the main course for dinner is: turkey, ironically the bane of his existence back at Kate's farm.
