Chance is an American bulldog and the main protagonist of the Disney's 1993 feature film, Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey and its 1996 sequel.
Chance is a young, immature American bulldog owned by a young boy named Jamie who cares for him very deeply. Given his early life, he was abandoned as a puppy and sent to the pound. Fortunately, he was adopted by Jamie and given a home. He has a very loose relationship with Jamie at first, because of the memory of his previous owner abandoned him. His pet comrades are Shadow, a wise, old golden retriever and Sassy, a Himalayan cat who is constantly annoyed by Chance's antics and is usually tortured by him. During Bob and Laura Seaver's wedding, he ended up eating the wedding cake before the newlyweds could cut it, which eventually ended up working against him where it gave him indigestion and forced him to vomit up what was left of it after launching Sassy into the sandbox. Due to his immaturity, Chance has a tendency to get himself (as well as his pet comrades) in trouble. He considers Shadow an old fusspot and calls him "old timer", but still has respect for him. His fear of going to "the bad place", AKA the pound, seen in the second film leads him and the others to be left behind. The second film also implies he has a bit of a paranoid nature to him, as he vomited up a green kibble (implied to be a sedative) due to thinking the owners were going to do something bad to him and the other pets.
