Shadow (Homeward Bound)

Shadow is a golden retriever and the deuteragonist of Homeward Bound and Homeward Bound 2.
Shadow is a wise, old golden retriever, who is very loyal and obedient to his owner Peter, a teenage boy who loves him very dearly. Given his age, he sees the way of a dog as his own law. His pet comrades are Chance, a young, immature American bulldog and Sassy, a Himalayan cat who respects Shadow despite him being a dog. He considers himself Chance's guardian as he feels he must watch over the "pup" and keep him from out of trouble. Chance thinks of him as an old fusspot and calls him "old timer", but still has respect for him as well. Though, when Shadow tries to stop him from leaving, after Delilah rejected him, Chance angrily tells him off to leave him alone, clearly furious with him and everyone else for their actions by trying to keep him and Delilah apart and what they said to him. He berates Shadow and the others for their actions, and says that he doesn't need him, or Sassy, or Delilah, or anyone else and continues storming off, leaving Delilah feeling guilty and ashamed for what she had done and leaving everyone else to watch helplessly as he vanished out of site. For an old dog, he can hold up on his own, as he is able to outrun a mountain lion and keep up in a fight against mean stray dogs.
