The Dog Days of Summer Movie: Benji

As the heat of August arrives we celebrate the Dog Days of Summer. Rather than lament them, we are celebrating them with movies featuring our favorite dogs of film. Come laugh, or cry, with our favorite pet! Fun for the whole family. 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, and can always rely on a kindly shopkeeper 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. Starring: Peter Breck, Patsy Garrett, Frances Bavier, and Edgar Buchanan. G, 1974, 1h 27m
