This is one of many animated specials produced in the 1970s by Lutheran Television that centered around pre-teen Benji and his faithful pet sheepdog Waldo. The one thing that suffers the most is the rather crude, limited animation style and its surreal use of dream sequences (including a live-action outdoors montage), as well as some bits and pieces unsuitable for a children's special.
The voice-over talent does add some charm to it, including Leslie Uggams, as Benji's teacher, who also sings a couple songs throughout the special, but you may still enjoy it for what it is.
