two good Dog stories
This video has 2 separate adventure episodes from "The Wonderful World of Disney" television show that played on Sunday nights from 1953 to 1983. The first is "Three on the Run", originally aired in 1978. Shot on location in Washington state using quite a bit of local talent. Two teenage brothers are convinced to enter the Icicle Valley Annual Sled Dog Race, and continue the legacy of their father. The long-time champ is making it hard though. Fun family fare.

This next episode was first aired in 1978 as well. "Race for Survival" is a story about an African Game Warden who crashes his small spotting airplane in the African Plains. While he survives, he is trapped in the plane and sends his dog "Smoky" for help with a note that shows where the plane crashed. While the greyhound dog runs for help some tribesmen stumble across the plane and nurse the warden back to health in their village. When the dog returns and his master is gone, he frantically searches for him.

I highly recommend this video and others in the series. Disney released many other titles from the TV episodes, just search on Amazon under "Wonderful World of Disney". To learn more about other episodes in the television series buy the book "The Wonderful World of Disney Television, by Bill Cotter", also available at Amazon.
