Goofs
During the thunderstorm early in the film, the sound of thunder is heard simultaneously with the lightning flashes. Because light travels faster than sound, this would occur only if the lightning struck within a few feet of the scene, which would create an extremely bright lightning flash and a shockwave that would rattle buildings and make the characters jump. Neither event happened, so it was a matter of bad timing by the special effects people.

Crazy credits
The opening credits roll as if they're written on a log.

Born in 1929 I was 8 yrs. old when I saw "Voice of Bugle Ann"

I cannot begin to tell the readers how Voice of Bugle Ann affected me!

As a little girl I knew that I loved all animals, big and small. Saturdays were my day to take my 15 cent allowance and walk to downtown Binghamton (NY) to see a movie at the Strand theater. This was my every Saturday routine.

5 cents would buy my way in to see the movie and I always headed for the front four rows of seats. I spent the remaining 10 cents on as much candy as it would buy.

I guess Lionel Barrymore was like a movie "father" to me and I adored him! And when I watched Bugle Ann and saw how loving he was with his companion and how hurt he was when Bugle Ann was lost to him, I couldn't stop crying.

This movie made a lifetime impression on me of how you should love and cherish any animal that God has put in your care. You should consider them a part of your family. You should express your affection for them whenever you're together. And, it's a good thing to sit down and talk to them about the things you have on mind, even your worries. Treat them as if they were another human.

I have a Yorkie mix and we are at one another's side 24-hrs. a day.

And something that has stayed with me from the age of 8 to my current age of 75...I have NEVER forgotten the beautiful bugle of Bugle Ann. I have heard it at times when we have driven through the Everglades. But, strangest of all, I will hear it at night time. I always tell myself "that's Bugle Ann and she's telling us she's OK by bugling..."

When, of course, I know that it's really a neighbor's dog.
