| The Incredible Journey | comment |
A children's novel by Sheila Burnford, published in 1961, about a trio of animals trekking across the Canadian wilderness in search of their family. The voyagers are Luath, a young Labrador retriever, Bodger, an old bull terrier, and Tao, a seal-point Siamese.It's been adapted to film twice, once in 1963 and more famously in the 1993 film Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey. The latter film changes up quite a bit, notably changing the breeds and swapping the breed types of the young and old dogs and making the male Siamese a female Himalayan (and changing the location from Northwest Ontario to the Sierra Nevada mountains of California), but loses none of the original story's pathos. | |

Heroic BSoD: Luath is certainly affected by Tao's Disney Death after being unable to save him, but Bodger nearly goes catatonic after he thinks he's lost his best friend. | |

Stopped Reading Too Soon: A housekeeper finds only one page of a two-page note. This leads to confusion about who is going to be taking care of three pets for two weeks. This sets the plot in motion—the pets escape and have adventures before anyone realizes they're gone. | |

Beastly Bloodsports: Bodger is an old veteran of dog fights. He thought they were great fun, and the narration treats dog fighting like a beautiful and noble sport. | |
