Joe Camp, Creator and Director of ‘Benji’ Films, Dies at 84
Joe Camp, the creator behind the "Benji" movies, died March 15. He was 84.
Camp had nearly no Hollywood experience before he raised $500,000 to make the first “Benji” film, a family movie about a lovable mutt who saves a pair of children from kidnappers. Higgins the dog, who previously appeared on the CBS sitcom “Petticoat Junction,” came out of retirement to star in the titular role. He published his book “The Soul of a Horse: Life Lessons from the Herd” in 2008, which chronicled what he learned from working with the majestic creatures.
