Trivia
The cubs that Benji finds are clearly leopard cubs and not cougar cubs. Although cougar cubs are spotted, they are not grey. See more »Goofs
Grizzly bears and wolves are not found in Oregon. Both mammalian species are extirpated from this northwestern American state. Grizzly bears can modernly be found in western Canada (including its Arctic region) and Alaska. Timber wolves currently inhabit Alaska, Canada and portions of the Great Lakes region as well as the American states that feature Yellowstone National Park (specifically Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming).

Its such a pleasure to watch this movie.. Its nostalgic and carries out a message like helping when i watched this as a child.. Disney movies always make us feel special when we are in childhood and this movie is an example.. A dog alone in the wilderness teaches us something about a world called "humanity" which we think the word only refers to humans.. Such a feel good and heart warming experience ... Its a treat to watch this movie again and again.. Action speaks louder than words is the perfect proverb suitable for this movie, there are no dialogues but we can feel the warmth in every frame of the movie... Totally its a perfect movie for the whole family.. :)
