Plot Summary

Skeeter has found this dog and discovers no one knows what kind it is. He discusses the matter with his uncle, expressing a desire to keep and train the dog for bird hunting, after finding the dog has super-sensing ability, but it does not bark. It "yodles" or laughs, as some would say. However, the real owner, a kennel Walden Grover (William Hopper) works for, wants it back due to the breed's rarity. A very sensitive and moving film, especially for fans of Walter Brennan and any dog lover. Written by Merv Denman

My Lady was six months old when she was brought over from England, along with other Basenjis to act as stand-ins. In the agreement to supply the dog, it was written into the contract that My Lady would belong to De Wilde after filming was completed. See more »
