By far... I adore Shadow and can't stand Scamp!

why?

^Nothing makes me dislike someone more than when he goes "oh, that's lame. Watch me do better" *cue montage of fails*
Oh, and trust me, that's only one of the minor reasons why I don't like him.

Well to be fair he does act his age, I knew a lot of little kids who did that

^Are you serious? Because he acts like a teenager more than anything.

Scamp is my favorite fictional male character. To save having to type why I love him I'll just copy and paste something from an old article of mine. Though I must say, he's WAY better than Tramp, at least he doesn't lie or play with women's hearts.

"You know me, I'm a sequel fan and I have an underrated character as my number one. What can I say? I have a thing for underrated things. I can relate to him so much that it's not funny. I feel bad that he's just cooped up with no life and no freedom. I think that despite his high life style that his life actually sucks. For once he has absolutely no freedom; it's like with a race horse if you hold on tight you'll just make the horse mad but if you loosen up than you'll get much more progress. Secondly he has a bad family, I'm not saying that just because I has his family, because I do hate him, but I mean how they treat him it's bad. His mom, from what I've seen, basically just ignores him and doesn't do anything. His sisters treat him like just reject that never should've existed, I know all siblings pick on each other but they set it to new hights, they're almost as bad as Cinderella's ugly step-sisters. His dad is over-protective, never takes the time to listen, only solution to get Scamp to listen is to yell, lies, hides the truth, and just doesn't understand. So I think that Scamp's problem with hating families is that his basically is disfuntional and since he's cooped up he thinks they're all like that, rather than just being an ungrateful spoiled brat.

Besides I feel bad for him because he has no friends before he meets Angel, everyone in his family has friends, that is if you count his sisters having each other, and he has none. I mean in human perspective he's twelve years old. Could you imagine a twelve year old little boy having no friends? There's a baby but he needed a friend he coult talk to about his problems and talk back to him. So I think he had his reasons for seeming "ungrateful". All he wants is to be free and to find out who he is. What's so wrong with that?

I also love how even though he keeps failing HORRIBLY at being a junkyard dog he keeps trying. Most kids his age would just give up but he keeps trying because he knows it's what he wants. I love how awkward he is, he tries to be cool but it's just so clumsy and awkward that he ends up looking like such a dork, but in a good way. I love how he saved Angel who almost got taken to the pound and could've been killed if she wasn't adopted. He's the first person ever to show her true kindness. He does show sympathy for his family when he sees how sad they are over him leaving so he's not heartless. Sure he didn't go back but would you wanna go back to a place where no one understands you and you feel like you don't belong? I know he turns on his dad and choses Buster over him but Tramp had it coming. First of all he was making the decision for him. Would you want someone doing that for you? He wants to be able to live his own life instead of someone living it for him. Secondly he lied and hid the truth from him. Would you trust and not be bitter at all towards someone who did that, especially your parents?

I love how he realizes that freedom doesn't mean as much if you don't have your family and loved ones, so he has such an amazing growth as a character. He realizes he was stupid and what really matters. I hate that he didn't get to rescue himself or get to show his intelligence much in the movie. He's very smart and heroic but they didn't show much of it, he has so much potential. I wish he could've found a way to have a family but still have his freedom. However overall I find him awesome; he's smart, kindhearted, clumsy, realistic, relatable, well-developed, and we're all like him in someway, wheather you admit it or not. So he's absolutely with no question in my mind anymore my all time favorite animated hero, and male character for that matter."

I haven't seen Homeward Bound for years, but I remember always liking Shadow :)
Scamp is ok but he is a bit cocky and whiny, and he really did need to be taught a lesson.

^I definitely agree.

Love Shadow. I also like Scamp just not as much.
