Stray dog Benji doesn't need an owner, preferring to roam freely all over his friendly Texas town. He delights in hectoring the cat of a local widow (Frances Bavier), and can always rely on a kindly shopkeeper (Edgar Buchanan) for a handout. But, when two children Benji loves are kidnapped and held for ransom, the dog springs into action, taking it upon himself to foil the crooks and save the day. Along the way, he also falls in love with a beautiful Maltese named Tiffany.

Jan 27, 2019 The best inspiring movie ever made!
George W Mar 20, 2018 Best animal movie I've ever seen. Told from the dog's point of view without silly voice over, just brilliantly showing us what he's thinking and feeling.The bad guys are not silly cartoonish characters, but fleshed out, letting us see their motives, which go far beyond just money. Cleverly written and directed by Joe Camp, expertly scored by Euel Box and brilliantly performed by Higgins, the original Benji and the best canine actor ever, this film's a cut above your average kids' animal movie, and an emotional, fun time for the whole family.
