I watched this a couple of times as a kids and for the past year it has been driving me mad. It is about a puppy whose mother dies in a fire or when the home is being demolished. So the puppy has to survive on it's own. Finally it finds a old homeless man. That's all I remember. Please help me.

I'm almost positive you're talking about Scruffy. I watched that a lot as a kid too. I was actually looking for it on Google when I came across this site and saw your question. I looked a little bit more and finally found it so I pulled this page back up so I could let you know. I hope this was the movie you were talking about and I was able to help you out! =)
