My wife and I watched this at home on BluRay from our public library. The picture and sound are first rate and the disc also has several interesting extras regarding making the movie.
This is a direct sequel to the 2017 movie "A Dog's Purpose." That movie relied on the theme of animal reincarnation, each time the pet died he/she was eventually reborn as a different type of dog but with memories of his former life. And a mission to find and help his owner.
In this one Ethan and Hannah have a very young granddaughter, but her father, their son, died tragically. The mother has issues, takes young "CJ" away, and she is separated from her grandparents for many years. Eventually the dog(s) play continuing roles in protecting CJ and enriching her life which includes reuniting her with her family.
The movie spans about 25 or so years in CJ's life, it is well told and has a really good and rewarding conclusion.
In the extras Quaid comments that maybe this dog's mission isn't complete yet, maybe there will be an additional sequel.
As an interesting point to me, the actress who plays CJ as a young adult, Kathryn Prescott, was born and raised in London but you'd never guess it, her American accent is so authentic.
