Besides the characters, the film also
gives us some moral lessons. That we shouldn’t
judge people before we get to know them (that
is probably one of the most common issues
happening in real life). It is shown when Max
was so mad at Duke, for the divided attention
Katie gave to Max. But later, Max realized that
Duke is a great companion in his lonely hours
without Katie. It shows that someone who we
hate or despise so much at first, might be
someone we really need in our life.
The film also teaches us that we can be
friends with anyone, not to care about what
race they are from, which species they are or
how rich they are, as long as they are good
friends to be with. Just like how the film makes
dogs, a cat, a guinea pig, a rabbit and also birds
come together to save friends in need.
And the last, the film shows us what we
can do with great teamwork. Like how Max’s
friends work together to save Max and Duke
and they successfully bring them home.
