The girls-meet-dog, girls-lose-dog, girls-get-dog-back premise of this tape will keep canine-minded boys absorbed, as well as entertaining the French schoolgirl's usual fan base. The brown stray saves Madeline when she falls into the Seine, and a grateful Miss Clavell allows the girls to take her back to their boarding school. But trouble arrives in the form of their animal-loathing landlord, who takes one look at poor Genevieve and has his driver dump her out in the country, prompting the girls to wander through the streets of Paris mournfully singing, "Have You Seen Our Dog?" The resourceful mutt returns and produces a dozen puppies, one of whom ingratiates itself with the landlord, thus ensuring Genevieve's place at the school and a return engagement in Madeline and the Dog Show. --Kimberly Heinrichs

5.0 out of 5 stars A favorite in our house, December 17, 2001

This review is from: Madeline: Rescue [VHS] (VHS Tape)

My daughter would watch this everyday if she could. She loves Madeline and her indomitable spirit - but when you add a lovable mutt to the mix it makes a combination little girls can't resist. Genevieve is a resourceful and clever dog who not only saves Madeline from a 'watery grave,' but also steals the hearts of Miss Clavel and the rest of the residents of the old house in Paris. The songs are catchy and the story of loyalty and friendship win out grumpy Lord Cucuface in the end. Highly recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars A great story for little girl's who love dogs., June 2, 1999

This review is from: Madeline: Rescue [VHS] (VHS Tape)

As a fan of Madeline and a dog lover, this is my favorite Madeline book and video. The video contains some great songs which I love to keep on singing even after the video is over. My Mommy and Daddy have rented this video so many times, they think it's time we just buy it! I will love having my own copy.
