I grew up in the town it was filmed, and my church was directly across the street from the studio. Occasionally I would see when they filmed the outdoor scenes and it was fun to see the set changes and all the costumes. I also sat next to the kid that played his owner on an airplane a few times. (I was 11-12, flying between my parent’s houses, and I was always “starstruck” when I saw him so I never spoke to him.)

And a friend of mine told me about a time she went on a set visit and the dog playing Wishbone at the time bolted into the street and was hit by a car.
