Benji (1974)
7/10
What breed of dog was Tiffany, Benji's girlfriend?

If Wayne Malin is correct, I have to be either a little kid or a dog lover. Busted! I plead guilty to both counts. I loved the movie, even the slow-motion idyllic relationship-building of Benji and Tiffany. But the theme-song nominated for Best Song at Oscars? That's pretty incredible. Did I think it reasonable that the inept kidnappers took the children to the very (abandoned)house Benji lived in -- no, but give me a break, it's a children's movie! And a charming one at that! Kid's are not always that discriminating.

I missed the movie all those years, finally seeing it on TV. I've been trying to identify the breed of our little dog that was dumped in front of a neighbor's house last year. She looks a lot like Tiffany, Benji's girl-friend. Does anyone know what breed she was? I'm devastated to learn that Frank Inn, the trainer, died four years ago. Wonderful job, Frank! Thank you for a charming, heart-warming story!
