** They may have also ''tried'' to give away Riley, but possibly no one wanted a dog either. And perhaps they couldn't get a refund from where they got him. And there was probably no nearby shelter available.

*** It's possible that they ''may'' have tried to give it time, but the [[KidsAreCruel boy just doesn't want a dog]].
*** [[FridgeLogic Did they even ask beforehand if he wanted a pet?]]
*** It might not be much, but at least the parents decided to put Riley in a box with holes and a covering, so Riley could breathe and not get wet. Of course Riley would still be cold and it would still be raining, but think of how worst it would have been, if they just put Riley right out in the open with no shelter. Consider that. The way one want to think of it at least, is that they at least did that for him, and do look at how disappointed they are after the boy rejected him, how disrespectful of that boy.

* After the animals have been lost again, Jamie is beginning to cool down from his frustration with Chance's antics (and his life in general) and is feeling sorry about the way he treated Chance just before he left. As he and his family pile into a car, Jamie sees a boy and his dog playing catch in the rain.
* A simple one, but definitely effective for animal lovers. Shadow has just brought a boy out of a burning building and the boy knows that his pet kitten is still inside. (Luckily, Sassy saved it.)
-->'''Boy''': Tiger's in there.
* Riley's past is also pretty heartbreaking, since it explains why he's so bitter and angry towards humans.
