Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaArguably the rarest film in the Disney canon because it was initially funded by the studio as a direct-to-video promotional tool for The Seeing Eye and Guide Dogs of America organizations. The film's broadcast premiere was on the Disney Channel on October 7, 1984, and it was aired two years later on The Disney Sunday Movie on ABC on May 4, 1986. Unlike most Disney films, it was not circulated beyond this, and was released on home video only briefly in the late 1980s. As such, VHS and beta copies of the film continue to sell upwards of $200.
- Quotes
Proprietor: [at a fancy restaurant] ... Sir, you asked to see the proprietor? If something's wrong, I'm sure we can straighten it out to your satisfaction.
Morris Frank: I hope so. I'm guided by a dog; she acts as my eyes.
Proprietor: Ah, yes; I've heard about you. You want me to allow dogs into my restaurant. I'm sorry, but I can't do that.
Morris Frank: Why not?
Proprietor: People would be very disturbed at having animals in eating places.
Morris Frank: How about the other folks eating here now? Will they second that, if we go and ask them?
[He turns to speak up, but the owner prevents him from doing so]
Proprietor: Sir - Sir...! I'd rather not have it come to such.
[He struggles to maintain his composure]
Proprietor: The issue is that dogs give off an *odor*.
Morris Frank: Do you smell anything strange?
Proprietor: I smell nothing, sir.
Morris Frank: Neither do I. Come on out, Buddy.
[Buddy emerges from under the table, where she has been hidden the whole time]
Morris Frank: So, my friend, what do you have to say about that? You never knew she was there, did you?
Proprietor: Three words: *No. Dogs. Allowed!* Now KINDLY take your *mutt* and leave, before I call the city pound.
Morris Frank: [with a shrug] Fine. Let's go, Buddy. I know a classier place than this!
[He leaves with Buddy]
