I was wondering if anyone remembers if this movie has a particular scene that I remember from a Disney movie, an older female dog in the junkyard loses her pup and in her grief becomes delusional and starts carrying an old boot around as if it were her pup, and all the other dogs play along, asking how her puppy's doing, is that from this film?

I had to count the months but by God, you are right. It has been two years.
So, is it that 80's animated movie?

Yep, that was the 1988 cartoon movie "Scruffy"--actually not a Disney one, it's by Ruby-Spears. So rare it doesn't even have an IMDb page, in fact. I just got the VHS from eBay and watched it today. That's the only way I know of to see it--there's no DVD, you'd just have to buy a copy on tape. And if anyone hasn't seen it and doesn't want anything spoiled, they should STOP reading now!
Anyway, that was a heck of a movie. So much death, loss, violence, cruelty, and danger packed into one hour of a sweet-looking "kiddie" flick! Holy cow! O.o I did like it though. Seems it was based on a book which was based on a true story. It's supposed to convey a strong message about stray animals. And does it ever.
I'm not surprised you posted that question here because it actually has lots in common with Lady & the Tramp--and plenty of other dog/animal movies too, but LatT most of all. To begin with, Scruffy kinda resembles Lady. In the beginning with Scruffy and her mom Duchess, the staircase of the condemned house reminded me of the Darlings'.
Theeen, there's Butch--mutt leader of a gang of junkyard strays who distrust all humans! (Sound familiar? It's even got the requisite 1-2 female members! ;) HE looks...not very unlike Tramp. (Plus, Butch is one of Tramp's many nicknames.) There's also Collie, the one with the boot-puppy...Sam, a red terrier mutt who reminds me somewhat of Toughy from the Lady & the Tramp pound...Randy the alcoholic Boxer...and Solo the irascible Scottish Terrier (can't help but think of Jock. The movie definitely also brought "Nine Dog Christmas" to my mind, but most people probably don't know of that one either.) Oh yeah, and speaking of that, there's also Caesar the converted villain dog, because only humans are truly evil.
At one point Scruffy is captured by the dogcatcher and Butch continues on running ahead, thinking she's still following right behind him, then turns and realizes his error. Eventually there's a happy ending (and for a minute there I actually feared it might not work out that way), and despite the fact that Butch had taken Scruffy under his wing as a pup and has been calling her "kiddo" the whole time, within six months she's grown up enough for him to apparently see her in a whole new light, because that much later she's nursing a litter (whereas her mother had only had one puppy) that, of COURSE, appears to be divided into pups who look exactly like her and ones who look exactly like him. I'd wager that those are the girls and boys, respectively.
So yeah, that's a little something about Scruffy! Maybe it brings back some other memories.
I enjoyed how each dog from the gang was adopted by a person who looked like him/her, too. That's always a good gag. xD

This is a bit from left field, but I have a female cat, spayed, never had kittens, who at the same time every evening picks up a small yellow stuffed bean-bag dog by the scruff of the neck (very light weight, about six inches long from nose to tail), and walks around the house yowling piteously. She does this for about five minutes, and then drops it, usually near somebody in the house. Often she brings it to me. I am also a female. We all wonder if she is somehow recognizing what she has lost by being spayed and is mourning a lost kitten that she never had.
Disclaimer--this doesn't mean I regret having a spayed cat. As much as I would love to raise a litter of kittens, I have always neutered my pets.

Gee, that's a curious behavior; poor kitty. That explanation sounds...plausible. If it's the case, I certainly feel sorry for the little dear, even though spaying is a wise thing to do for pets.
I don't think I've heard stories of other sterilized animals having similar reactions, though.
I have three "fixed" dogs. The only difference it's really made, besides eliminating the madness that used to rage around here when one of the females was an intact show dog, is to have caused her coat to become excessively fuzzy and fluffy. o.O

That sounds so sad!! I don't think I could watch that, even now. I'm 28 and I don't think I could see "All Dogs Go To Heaven" again either. I remember parts of it vividly from watching it 25 years ago. I cried that night and couldn't even explain how sad it made me feel. I'd like to think I've grown up a bit since then, but I'm not always sure. :)
shareIt is very sad indeed...;_; I can definitely understand the ultra-sensitive possibly not being able to handle it. And All Dogs Go to Heaven is a really hard-hitting movie. (Of course, the story of poor little Judith Barsi makes it even worse...)
