I like both the movie and the book.One simalarity is that in the book and the movie both have a race.One diferince is that in the book the dog was Searchlight and in the movie the dog was Morgan.If I had to choose the oneI like the most it would have to be the book because you dont know when Searchlight is going to die.

One of the simalrity I found was that Doc Smith gave willy sinamin cake. One of the diffrens I found was that Serchlight's name was Morgan. I liked the book better,because it had much more detail.
