The dog in the movie

Is the dog played by Higgins, also known as Benji? It looked a lot like him.

That dog was very adorable! Does anyone know what breed he was?

It looked like him, but Village of the Giants was made in 1965 and Benji was made nine years later in 1974, so it is not very likely.

To me it looks like the dog from the Brady Bunch. But that was a mixed breed.. I wonder if this dog was too.

Now I am curious as well to what breed this is. I have been thinking of getting a dog and all and this looks like a cool family pet if anything so if anyone knows what dog breed it is and if it was in other movies or shows let us know....

I think I will get a similar dog to this breed, but not as big as Wolf was in the movie.. I aint walking a dog that huge.

Even worse would be cleaning up after him!

It could have been the dog from "Benji" (his real name was "Higgins") That dog was in the TV series "Petticiat Junction" which was on TV in the early 1960's so it's definitely possible.

I forgot the dogs character name in this film but perhaps this is the same dog from the 1964 movie " Mary Poppins " ? His name was Andrew . They looked exactly alike and both movies are a year apart after all . Just my wild guess of course . Thanks queenmagica for your subject post .

Maybe a Papillion and Collie mix...
