It is the beginning of an Indian summer in northwest Ontario at the outset of the story. The writer John Longridge has assumed care of the Hunter family’s beloved pets: the elderly bull terrier Bodger , the sassy Siamese cat Tao , and the young and ever-loyal golden labrador Luath . The Hunters are longtime friends of Longridge, who also is the Hunter children’s godfather. 12-year-old Peter has had Bodger since he was only a year old, and the two share an inimitable bond. Tao belongs to his younger sister Elizabeth, and Luath is James Hunter’s steadfast hunting companion. The Hunters have gone on a trip to England for a temporary academic job that James has accepted there. When Longridge heard that the family planned to board their beloved animals, he volunteered to care for them in their absence. He has been housing the animals in his Ontario forest cabin, which he occasionally lives in while completing his manuscripts.

Longridge also loves the Hunter animals very much. Bodger has warmed to him quite naturally, as being a companion to humans is the dog’s greatest love. Tao is aloof yet comfortable and occasionally affectionate with Longridge. Luath is respectful and well-mannered but saves all of his true loyalty for his master, James.

Longridge is good friends with his (long-distance) neighbors the Oakes. Mrs. Oakes sees to his domestic needs when he stays in his cabin. He has arranged for her to care for the animals while he embarks on a canoe hunting expedition. The night before his departure, he composes a two-page letter to Mrs. Oakes. In it, he tells her that he will be taking the animals out for a walk the next morning, and then bringing them back in afterwards, before he sets out on his journey. However, during the night, Tao runs across Longridge’s desk and upsets the letter—sending the second page into the fireplace, where all but Longridge’s signature is lost to the flames.

The next day, when Mrs. Oakes arrives, she finds only the first page of Longridge’s letter, which makes it ambiguously appear that he has taken the animals with him on his canoeing hunting trip. The animals are not in the house. Mrs. Oakes frets over this, as she was eager to spend time with Bodger, especially, and is a bit concerned about the practical elements of bringing them all on a canoeing expedition. She defers to what she believes is Longridge’s judgment.

Unbeknownst to all the humans, Luath has led his two companions on a journey westward and toward their home. The animals have naturally fallen into a formation that they will adopt for many hundreds of miles: Luath stays by Bodger’s left side, as the elder dog is deaf in his left ear, and Tao trails them while indulging his own curiosities along the trail.

The animals each tap into their ancestral instincts during their journey. Tao is the wildest in the trio—he is able to effortlessly hunt and progress through the forest fearlessly. Bodger has fighting instincts, but his advanced age renders him a fragile and fitful traveler. Luath is not a killer by nature, and has trouble catching prey, but it is his internal compass westward and homebound that leads the way.

The animals encounter a number of high-stakes difficulties during their journey. One day, a bear cub takes an interest in Bodger and slashes him across the back. Tao quickly comes to her friend’s aid, attacking the cub’s eyes with his razor-sharp claws. When Luath comes bounding onto the scene, the mother bear and her cub retreat.

On another occasion, Tao is overtaken by an avalanche of timber when a beaver dam collapses while he is trying to cross a river. The cat is knocked unconscious and almost drowns but is fortuitously rescued by a young Finnish girl named Helvi Nurmi. Water blocks up the cat’s ears and renders him deaf for three days. Helvi and her family nurse Tao back to health, and the cat regains his hearing before setting back out into the wilderness and re-joining his canine companions.

The three animals also happen upon an elderly man with a faltering grip on reality. He mistakes the animals for humans and tries to treat them to a meal in his cabin before seeing them out.

Luath also incurs the wrath of a porcupine that he unsuccessfully tries to hunt and is forced to continue the journey with three quills lodged in his face. The wounds quickly become infected and extremely painful.

Bodger and Luath are later taken in by a kindly couple named the Mackenzies. Empty nesters who live in the wilderness, they have had many family pets throughout the years and intimately know the deep bonds that can form between domestic pets and their human masters. When the ever-loving Bodger turns up on their doorstep, later followed by a more cautious Luath, they immediately take the animals in and begin inquiring in their township about the peculiar trio’s presence in the wilderness. They also see Luath’s failing health, extract the quills immediately, and feed him as much as possible. Although they are intent on keeping the dogs, they also can see that they are on a very purposeful and undeterrable journey. Tao never makes himself known to the Mackenzies. Instead, he unlocks the latch to the barn where the couple begins keeping the dogs. A after a few days, the animals have headed back out into the wilderness and on their way.

By now, word of mouth from the various people who have encountered the animal trio has spread, and Oakes and Longridge have cobbled together the pieces of the puzzle to determine that the animals are headed westward and toward their home. They have been able to speak via telephone to several of the people that the animals have encountered. They also assume that the animals are dead. By looking at a map, they are able to pinpoint the animals’ journey with good accuracy, and they also see that they are headed toward the treacherous Ironmouth Mountain Range—just as the Indian summer is ending and a cruel winter approaches.

A few weeks pass, and Longridge has informed the Hunters of the unfortunate turn of events with their pets. The Hunters have returned from their trip, each family member full of longing and anticipation for their reunion with their beloved pet. Elizabeth has even purchased a new red leather collar for Tao. The Hunters are heartbroken to learn the news, and as time goes on, Elizabeth becomes the lone holdout in the family—she is utterly convinced that the animals will return to them, safe and sound.

The Hunters and Longridge go on a trip to the Hunters’ summer cottage. Elizabeth is hesitant to go, as she worries that Tao and the others may return home while they are gone. Longridge shows her the map of the animals’ route and assures her that the Hunter summer cottage lies on it. This convinces Elizabeth to go, but Longridge is afraid that her determined optimism will soon be proven wrong. All of the humans are devastated by the loss of the animals, but they try their best to enjoy their trip. Peter is especially bereft, as he shares a deep bond with the dog he has treasured as his companion for his whole life. He is convinced that Bodger is dead.

Then, on the last August day of their trip and Peter’s birthday, while they are on a walk in the forest, Emily hears a dog barking. She listens closely and immediately identifies the bark as Luath’s. No one else believes her—until Tao comes bounding out of the forest. The overjoyed cat is enclosed in a warm embrace by Elizabeth. Soon enough, Luath also emerges from the forest for an emotional reunion with James.

Peter watches the scene quietly, and then tells everyone that he is going to circle back on the trail to try to capture a photograph of a whisky-jack. He is clearly saddened by Bodger’s absence. Longridge decides to join him in order to keep an eye on him. Then, Bodger emerges from the forest and reunites with his master. This is the greatest birthday present Peter has ever received. The story ends on an image of Longridge making his way down the trail. He is joined by Tao on his walk in the spirit of intimate friendship.

Tweens is Good

What's the story.

Two dogs and a cat trek through hundreds of miles of Canadian wilderness to rejoin their family after a caretaker misundertands her instructions and accidentally forsakes them, in this lovely, gentle, and understated tale.

Is It Any Good?

Kids love survival novels because they identify with the characters and feel powerful and independent right along with the protagonists; the treat here is that the characters are animals. And they act like real animals. These are not the usual talking animals in fetching outfits -- nothing in this book seem impossible for real-life cats and dogs.

The author, who knows animals intimately, conveys their wordless communication -- encouraging each other through eye contact and body language, mourning a companion who is assumed lost, or sharing the spoils of a hunt. There's plenty of action here, but like the animal's personalities, it's not over-the-top. Kids can easily imagine that they're crossing vast swaths of unpopulated land, and long stretches of quiet, forlorn beauty are punctuated by occasional terror, mishap, or joy. But readers who favor constant action over a story based on setting and mood may find the book slow going.

The Incredible Journey

By sheila burnford, the incredible journey analysis.

Written by Timothy Sexton

The Incredible Journey is a novel published by Sheila Burnford in 1961which has inspired two successful film adaptations as well as a sequel to the second adaptation. The story is the tale of two dogs and a cat making a journey of a few hundred miles across the Canadian wilderness in search of their lost masters. The subject and premise of the story have mandated that it be categorized as a children's book since its initial publication. The number one critic of limiting the marketing genre of the novel to such a small demographic sampling of the population has always been the author herself.

From the very beginning, Burnford insisted that she wrote a book which could be enjoyed by readers of all ages. The rationale behind this insistence is that the book presents a relatively realistic portrayal of animal behavior. At the same time, however, the narrator invests the animals with enough human attributes to provide psychological insight of a sort. For instance, the narrator observes that "Nomadic life seemed to agree with the cat. He was in fine fettle, sleek and well groomed and as debonair as ever, and had adapted himself so well that at times it appeared as though he were positively enjoying the whole expedition." This passage illustrates the strength of the author's approach to telling the story. The use of qualifying language like "seemed" and "it appeared" is a subtle means of personifying the animal protagonists without actually turning them into mere animal-like stand-ins for human beings. It is not the cat himself who suggests that he is enjoying the expedition, much less saying so with the ability to speak. It is the narrator making a commentary on what the cat may—or may not—actually be thinking. If, indeed, the cat is thinking anything human-like at all.

The Incredible Journey is basically a variation on the mythic plot of heroes finding their way home. The dogs and cat making the journey are part of an endless litany of characters throughout the entire history of literature following in the footsteps of Odysseus in Homer's epic poem The Odyssey . This novel relates the odyssey undertaken by two dogs and a cat to reunite with their masters. The narrative follows them across hundreds of miles in the Canadian wild as they face several close brushes with injury or death while learning to depend upon, communicate, and cooperate with each other in order to attain a shared goal. The tests that the animals face in their commitment to reach their goal include staving off a bear attack and an equally treacherous attempt to cross a river. Interestingly, it is the natural world around the animals that present the biggest challenges rather than confrontations with human beings.

The structure of the storytelling which allows the narrator to endow human attributes to the animals which may not actually exist is essential to the success of the story as it pursues its themes. Ultimately, the book is—like all mythic odysseys centered around characters making their way home—a celebration of survival not through individual heroics, but the heroism that comes from communication, loyalty, and collaboration. That the main characters manage to collaborate and communicate and remain loyal despite representing different species or breeds without a single species only serves to intensify the subtext. That subtext is the assertion that humans should cooperate with each other rather than engage in endless competition. The significance of this subtext may be central to the insistence of the author that it is not merely a book to entertain children.

The Incredible Journey

The Incredible Journey by Sheila Burnford is a book about friendship and love, and has many adventurous events. It is about three animals who set out on a journey into the wilderness of Ontario, Canada to find their beloved owners. The animals include a siamese cat named Tao, a young labrador, Luath, and a bull terrier named Bodger. The animals were being looked after by John Longridge while their owner Jim Hunter was away, working in England. One day John Longridge decided to go on a hunting and fishing trip, so he leaves a note behind for the housekeeper. The animals however start a four hundred kilometer trek into the dangerous wilderness. The animals meet predators and must cross through rivers and other obstacles to eventually reunite with their owner. My favourite character is Luath, the labrador. Out of the three animals, he is the most determined to get home and he acts as the leader of the group. Luath has a gold coat, noble head, and is powerfully built. I admire his confidence in survival and the determination in his personality to find home again. I like to think that Tao and Bodger look up to Luath and feel safe around him. The main conflict in this book would be trying to stay alive in the Ontario wilderness. The three animals must fight off a bear, trek through rivers, and much more intense events. Nature is the antagonist in this book, and the friendship between all the animals helps them survive. They never left each other behind, or left one to starve. When Bodger was tired and hungry, they stopped until he was healthy again. The love these animals have for each other is very evident and this love is the reason they got home. I would recommend this book to anyone who has a heart for animals, adventure, and love. The theme in this story is always sticking together and not leaving anyone behind, so it’s a great read if you enjoy friendships. Loyalty of pets is shown miraculously throughout the book as well! The good thing about this book is that if you aren’t so into the friendship theme, there is also an adventurous, survival theme as well!
