Warriors of Virtue (1997)

Warriors Of Virtue is the story about Ryan Jeffers, a teenager seeking acceptance and understanding among his peers. It is harder for Ryan than most adolescents because he walks with a limp. To prove himself worthy to the popular boys in school, Ryan accepts a dare which lands him in Tao, a parallel world of lush green landscapes and majestic mountains. A world where humans and animal like people share their existence in harmony. In this world Ryan no longer has a limp and finally feels like a whole person. However, everything has a price and Ryan finds out that the price for a perfect leg is to high when it could cause the destruction of Tao and its people.

Detailed Animal Action Report

Ryan has a dog and he is seen in several scenes in the beginning of the film. The dog is seen walking from A to B from the house to the car and back into the house. Later he is seen approaching the kitchen table where he snatches a piece of toast. He is next seen at the bathroom window with his paws hanging from the outside in, on the window sill. Holding the bread, he opens his mouth, letting it drop into Ryan’s lap. The trainer placed the dog on his mark and cued him with verbal and hand signals.
