For the Love of Benji is the second film featuring Benji the dog.

Plot Synopsis

In this film, Benji is lost and becomes a stray animal in Athens, Greece, trying to reunite with his family while secret agents pursue him, trying to get a formula which was glued to his paw in order to get it past customs. There are lots of interesting location shots as Benji hides out in the ruins of the Acropolis, where he is befreiended by another stray, and through the narrow streets of an old Greek neighborhood, where he is pursued by a vicious Doberman Pinscher dog who has been brought in to kill him.
