When I was in middle school, my mom told me about this book that she had read in school, and recommended. I found it at our library. As a child, I loved books about horses, dogs, and wolves.
This one was particularly moving and memorable. Years later I picked up an ex-library hard copy with dust jacket at a yard sale. I found the VHS copy of the 50s movie more than a decade ago, and bought it, but no longer have a machine to play it on (though I kept the movie).
I unexpectedly came upon it on t.v. tonight and I have excitedly set it up to record on my PVR.
I was wondering whether any other Refupeas are familiar with this one. I have only seen a basenji dog once IRL, more than a decade ago, and the owner was surprised that I could identify it, since it is not a widely known breed. Most people that I know or talk to IRL are unfamiliar with both the breed, and even if they know the breed, with the book/movie.
Is anyone else familiar with this book or the subsequent movie? It has always been a favourite and for a ficitional book really tugged at my heartstrings.

I still have my autographed copy.
