Fact: We watched Benji in school, I hid my tears.

When I was young I had the best dog ever, his name was Ben. My parents found him abandoned looking through trash, he was a small dog similar to Benji. He was my best friend and I think that was a reason why when I cried while watching Benji. Back in probably 1992/93 in the first or second grade we all gathered into the library to watch one of the Benji movies. The scene that made me sad was when Benji was lost, his owner came down in a helicopter and called his name, Benji looked at him but did not get to him. It made me incredibly sad to see a dog lost in the woods and to see the owner yell for him worried and sad.

One of my weaknesses is when sad things happen to animals. Even in the movies when they are acting! Either every animal in a movie is a terrific actor or I just have a soft spot for them. Looking at clips on youtube make me kind of sad! I love the poster for the movie, its pretty sweet.

Real Fact: The title theme of the film Benji was nominated for an Oscar, and won the Golden Globe Award.
