It's been adapted to film twice, once in 1963 and more famously in the 1993 film ''Film/HomewardBoundTheIncredibleJourney''. The latter film changes up quite a bit, notably changing the breeds and swapping the breed types of the young and old dogs and making the male Siamese a female Himalayan (and [[AdaptationalLocationChange changing the location]] from Northwest Ontario to the Sierra Nevada mountains of California), but loses none of the original story's ability to make grown men cry like children (along with everyone else).

!!This novel contains examples of the following tropes:
* AnimalJingoism: Played with -- [[MySpeciesDothProtestTooMuch Tao]] and Bodger both hate cats, and due to this are ''best friends'', having bonded during Bodger's younger years by terrorizing and dominating the neighborhood kitties.
* BeastlyBloodsports: Bodger is an old veteran of dog fights. [[ValuesDissonance He thought they were great fun, and the narration treats dog fighting like a beautiful and noble sport]].
* CoolOldGuy: ''Bodger''.
* NamelessNarrative: Close enough to count; they're referred to by ages, breeds, and species by the narrator when their owners aren't around, which is most of the story.
