This classic Walt Disney film from 1962 has been long out of print on DVD, and in fact was only released by Anchor Bay - Disney themselves never bothered to release it
Therefore, for anyone who has never seen this film, or doesn't own the DVD and wants to see it again, I highly recommend this film - especially if your taste are like mine and like older, gentle, heartfelt films about animals and their bond with people. There is more to this film than just that, though. It is also just as much about the people involved as it is about the bond between boy and dog. Beautiful location filming, too.
It is one of my favorite (top 5) classic all live action Disney films (others include Three Lives Of Thomasina, Pollyana, and Rascal)
