           The movie is based on Ellison's novella "A Boy And His
Dog". The story won a nebula and has been anthologized many times.
It can be found in collections of nebula-winning stories, Ellison's
"The Beast That Shouted Love At The Heart of the World and other
stories", and numerous other books. The movie is easily obtainable
on videotape and follows the story rather closely. The punch line
at the end of the movie (not in the novella) is offensive to
people with no stomach for puns...

           Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? is a novel by
Philip K. Dick. The movie based on DADOES is Blade Runner, a vastly
superior movie to A Boy And His Dog. I've seen both movies several
times and enjoyed them immensely.
