    • Trivia
      According to Peter Bowles' memoirs 'Bridget Armstong' was only cast because the original actress was fired because of her objection to the animal trainer methods.
    • Alternate versions
      When the Doberman chases Benji just after Stelios falls over coming around the corner the music is different on the recent DVD release compared to a British television showing in the mid 90's. The music that was used on the TV version is not to be found on the CD ost, only the replaced music that is on the DVD version.

    Brings a tear to the eye

    What a great movie. No action, no swearing, no gore, just a wonderful family movie with that lovable dog, Benji. The story seems unlikely and impossible, but who cares? I don't. It makes you appreciate whatever pet you have. Wheter it be a dog, a cat, a bird, a fish, etc. Like other Benji movies, his one is fun to watch and should be seen with the family, including the family pet. Thumbs up!
