Riley (Homeward Bound II)

Riley is a stray mutt and a deuteragonist from Homeward Bound II: Lost in San Francisco. He is voiced by Sinbad.

Riley is the leader of a gang of street dogs. He is first seen arriving with his gang and saving Shadow, Sassy and Chance from Ashcan and Pete. Riley then tells Shadow and Sassy (Chance fled, thinking Riley's Gang were merely reinforcements) that it is unsafe to be around here because there are humans present.

It is revealed that Riley hates all humans as well as human pets for mere association. This is because his potential owner (who had received Riley as a puppy for Christmas) left him abandoned in a gutter. He starts to change his mind after Shadow rescues a little boy named Tucker from a burning house. When he asks Shadow if a human would risk their life to save him, he tells Riley that his owner Peter would. However, Riley isn't very pleased when he sees Chance hanging with Delilah (they had sparked a romance together while Riley's Gang had left). He tries to convince Delilah that she and Chance are different and can't be together. She refuses to listen at first but reluctantly breaks it to Chance after he is rescued from the blood-red van, due to his unruly antics. Feeling heartbroken, Chance leaves.

Riley is last seen leading Shadow and Sassy to the bridge, where Riley and the two housepets part ways. Before they do, he tells Shadow that he'll keep in mind about what he had said about humans, to which Shadow replies, "Riley, you're all right." Presumably, he also allowed Delilah to quit his gang to be with Chance.
