Benji: For the Love of Benji – In the sequel to “Benji”, kidnappers target someone else – Benji! As Benji tries furiously to get back to his family, and escape from his kidnappers, there some really great scenes. My personal favorite is where Benji grabbs a string of hot dogs and takes off down the street! This isn’t as good as Benji, but it is worth watching anyway.

Benji – Benji is a kid’s film which achieves the status of true drama, due to the remarkable acting ability of Higgins in the title role. A schnauzer-cocker-poodle cross, Higgins was found in a shelter and trained by Frank Inn. Before playing “Benji,” he guest-starred on tv’s “Lassie”, “Beverly Hillbillies”, and “Green Acres;” had a regular role in “Petticoat Junction” as “Dog;” and carried the title role in the film “Mooch Goes to Hollywood” (1971). “Benji” was true screen triumph for Higgins, worthy of an Oscar. Kudos to his co-star Tiffany, as well, for her engaging personality.
