NATIONWIDE SEARCH FOR NEW BENJI BEGINS



BILOXI, Miss. (Wireless Flash) – Call out the dogs! Because a nationwide search will get underway this Sunday to find the next Benji. The creators of the original 1970s-era film will start the search in Chicago where dogs in animal shelters who resemble the mutt will be examined and auditioned. A spokeswoman says the original Benji was rescued from an animal shelter and the producers hope to find the next Benji the same way – but looking like Benji won’t be enough. The dog must have an arrogant, aloof attitude just like the original Benji. The new Benji will star in the film Benji Returns – The Promise of Christmas due out in December 2002.
