"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.

Cast and Crew

Directed by Joe Camp.

Actors: Benjean (daughter of Higgins) as Benji, Patsy Garrett, Cynthia Smith, Allen Fiuzat, Ed Nelson, Peter Bowles, Art Vasil, and Bridget Armstrong.

This was the first of several "Benji" movies to star Benjean in the title role. Benjean was the daughter of Higgins, the dog who originated the role of Benji. Despite the fact that she was obviously a female dog, Benjean played the part of the spunky male Benji very well, only betraying herself by the unconscious expression of female dog body-language in the scene where Benji is looking over a basket of puppies.
