Benji

Film-Originated Franchises

Benji is a franchise built around a fictional canine character created by Joe Camp. The character has been the focus of several feature films and other media, beginning with the independently produced 1974 film of the same title. Benji is a small, golden, mixed-breed dog with a knack for being in the right place at the right time, usually to help someone overcome a problem. The role has been played by several different mixed-breed dogs over the years, and Camp has said that he decided from the beginning to use only rescue dogs. The screen filmography runs from Benji in 1974 through For the Love of Benji, Oh! Heavenly Dog, Benji the Hunted and Benji: Off the Leash! to a further Benji film in 2018, alongside television specials.
