Ambiguous Disorder has been renamed in addition to moving to YMMV.


* AmbiguousDisorder: It's never mentioned what's wrong with Axel or whether his mental illness is due to his heroin abuse, his experiences as a soldier, or a combination of both. He's delusional and very paranoid of others. He refuses to stay in one place because he thinks people are tracking everyone, but if he's homeless then they can't track him properly. Axel suffers from frequent nightmares as well.



* DiagnosedByTheAudience: It's never mentioned what's wrong with Axel or whether his mental illness is due to his heroin abuse, his experiences as a soldier, or a combination of both. He's delusional and very paranoid of others. He refuses to stay in one place because he thinks people are tracking everyone, but if he's homeless then they can't track him properly. Axel suffers from frequent nightmares as well.



* NarmCharm: Bella's language can be simplistic and some words are treated as phrases because she doesn't understand humans. This creates some narmy sounding lines, like "Dutch turned and started walking away from us. He was being a bad dog!" (for context, Dutch was trying to return to his previous owner and Bella considers [[DogsLoveBeingPraised being a "bad dog" to be a terrible offense]]), in otherwise serious scenes. It doesn't take away from the impact but it is funny sounding.

* SpiritualSuccessor: To Cameron's previous success, ''Literature/ADogsPurpose''. Both are from the [=POV=] of dogs born as strays, but ''A Dog's Purpose'' stars a dog as it goes through several reincarnations, while ''A Dog's Way Home'' is more grounded in reality and focuses on one dog's life (though she still goes through many owners as she tries to get back to Lucas).

Pretty much every scientific study on the matter has shown that it's VERY easy to misidentify pitbulls, and that every place that enacted BSL actually saw an UPTAKE in attacks. It flat out does not work


* {{Anvilicious}}: The story makes no bones about how the writer thinks Breed Specific Legislation is both cruel and unreliable. Unsurprisingly, this earned it ire from those who support BSL.
