Because "acting skills" are better, when a dog becomes the protagonist of a movie, it is generally not too bad. The film is adapted from the novel of the same name, which looks at the joys and sorrows of the human world from the perspective of a dog. The film softens the misery in the novel, and the narrative of the life of man and dog is indistinguishable. Perhaps pet movies always tell stories about loyalty and growth, but the film does a good job of avoiding the suspicion of deliberately consuming a dog complex, and instead explores deeper themes of courage, choice, adventure, and forgiveness. Kevin Costner's dubbing gives dogs a philosophical soul, and "dogs can change the rhythm of the world, and people can only be controlled by the world" also allows us as self-centered humans to take a good look at everything around us

-
Enzo: He picked me out of a pile of pups, a tangled mass of paws and tails. He'd stopped at the farm on his way home from the speedway at Yakima. Even back then, I knew I was different than other dogs. My soul just felt more human.

Denny: And what if I don't win?
Don Kitch: There's no dishonor in losing the race, there's only dishonor in not racing because you're afraid to lose.
