"Eelie is a most unusual dog who arrives uninvited at the home of Billy Arjan Singh, when she is a few months old and stayed for the rest of her life to become his inseparable companion. Along the way, she befriends and forms a special association with the three leopards which Arjan Singh rears at his home; the leopard cub, prince, and the twin sisters Harriet and Juliette. Later arrives the zoo-born tigress Tara, who returns to the jungle to produce her cubs by a wild tiger.
"The author writes with a sympathy for all animals and a regard for conservation in this unique story of Eelie with the ‘Big Cats’. Eelie forms a rare bridge between the world of humans and that of wild creatures, linking the two in a way never seen before or since."
Several appealing color photos.

Video Title  -  Leopard of the Wild
Originally called: The Leopard That Changed Its Spots
This film (on vhs) is the fascinating story of Harriet, a truly remarkable leopard that was reared at Tiger Haven, an animal conservation site in India and the home of conservationist Billy Arjan Singh. It tells the story of her return to the wild and having cubs. It provides extremely rare and remarkable footage of her interactions with her friends Billy Arjan Singh, a Tiger named Tara and a dog name Eelie. This is an inspiring and delightful film!!!

Excellent film in ALL ways! Superb photography by Dieter Plage, excellent narration by David Niven and ideally suited music! A very professionally done film which is a delight to watch.

This REMARKABLE video titled 'Leopard of the Wild' is certainly worthy of being placed on DVD but was only placed on VHS. The VHS is unfortunately no longer available except from individual sellers that have a single used copy for sale. 

There is also an excellent book about Harriet titled,  "Prince of Cats".

Video Title  -  Tiger, Tiger
This film features Arjan Singh, Tara the Tigress and much general information about Tigers.
The photography is good but overall the film lacks the quality of the Leopard film previously mentioned.  The music in this film sounds generic and does NOT suit the film but detracts from it. The narration by Richard Widmark is monotone and lacks enthusiasm. But still the subject is of great interest and makes this film worth watching.

Film  - The Fire of Thine Eyes
Interesting and fact filled documentary about Tigers and in particular, Tara the Tigress raised by Billy Arjan Singh.   The film is narrated by Virginia McKenna (Played the part of Joy Adamson in the award winning movie Born Free.)
Approximately 50 minutes.
