Benji the Hunted

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Benji the Hunted is a 1987 children's film about a dog trying to survive in the wilderness. It was released by Walt Disney Pictures.

Benji has become stranded in a remote island during a boating accident. He finds himself struggling to survive, avoiding close encounters with a wolf, a bear, a human hunter who catches him trying to steal his meat, and a territorial female cougar with her cub.
He eventually encounters four orphaned cougar cubs, which he takes care of. A wolf pursuing the cubs and, perhaps Benji, is one of the main highlights of the film. In one of the films more tragic scenes, one of the cubs gets carried off by an eagle.
Benji later tries to catch up with the female cougar he encountered earlier with the intention of leaving the three remaining cubs in her care.
