The Incredible Journey is a classic children's novel by Sheila Burnford, first published in 1961. It tells the story of three pets - a Siamese cat named Tao, an old bull terrier named Bodger, and a young Labrador retriever named Luath - who travel 250 miles through the Canadian wilderness to find their family. The book is based on a true story of the author's friends who had to leave their pets behind when they moved from Ontario to England.
The book was adapted into a film twice by Walt Disney Pictures, in 1963 and 1993. The latter version, titled Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey, changed the names and breeds of the animals, and added more dialogue and humor. The book has also been translated into several languages, and has won many awards and accolades for its realistic and touching portrayal of animal friendship and survival.
