"In 1979 Savitz published Run, Don't Walk, the story of two teenagers
who use wheelchairs, one with a golden retriever as a helper dog.
Savitz was pleased when the book was made into an American
Broadcasting Company (ABC) "Afterschool Special" produced by Henry
Winkler." (Made in 1981. Actors included Scott Baio and Dee Wallace.)
