***Poco... Little Dog Lost*** is a 1977 American independent family adventure drama film about a young girl, Kim (Michelle Ashburn), and her [dog](/source/Dog), Poco.

## Plot

Early in the film, both Kim and her mother are injured in a car accident. An emergency medical crew arrives to help them and bring them to the hospital. But Kim's dog, Poco, gets spooked during the commotion and runs off into the [desert](/source/Desert).

Lost in the dangerous wilds, Poco treks across the [wilderness](/source/Wilderness) in search of Kim. As Kim recovers, she searches for Poco as well.

Poco has several adventures as he makes his way through scenic, diverse, and occasionally treacherous [California](/source/California) terrain, from the [high desert](/source/High_Desert_(California)), the [Sierra Nevada](/source/Sierra_Nevada_(U.S.)) mountains, a [ghost town](/source/Ghost_town), and a romp through [Yosemite National Park](/source/Yosemite_National_Park). The dog also has several encounters along the way, including a kind old gas station owner ([John Steadman](/source/John_Steadman_(actor))) and a benevolent gold prospector ([Chill Wills](/source/Chill_Wills)), as well as a few other [animal](/source/Animal) friends, all of whom help Poco on his journey home.
