The Incredible Journey (book)

The Incredible Journey is a book written by Sheila Burnford. The book is mainly for kids, but also for adults as well. The story is that three pets travel 300 miles, or 480 km, through Canada to find their masters. They struggle through being prey and famine, and each animal has their woes sometime in the book. The trio start in northwestern Ontario, and travel to their masters from there.

Three movies have been based on the book, and that is why it has gotten attention lately. The trio was based on Burnford's own pets; a Bull Terrier from England, a Siamese Cat, and a young Labrador Retriever. They all have similar relationships to the trio in the book.
