The book was a modest success when first published, but became widely known after 1963 when it was loosely adapted into a movie by the same name by Walt Disney. It is usually considered a children's book, although Burnford has stated that she did not write it specifically for children. The story is set in the northwestern part of Ontario, which has many lakes, rivers, and widely dispersed small farms and towns. It depicts the suffering and stress of an arduous journey, together with the unwavering loyalty and courage of the three animals.

The manner in which the Mountain Lion was defeated resembles a prank that Chance played on Sassy earlier in the film where he used the Seavors' seesaw as a makeshift catapult and launched her into the sandbox (or as Sassy put it, the litter box).The Incredible Journey (1961), by Scottish author Sheila Burnford, is a children's book first published by Hodder & Stoughton, which tells the story of three pets as they travel 300 miles (480 km) through the Canadian wilderness searching for their beloved masters.

This indicates that the mountain lion may have had a meal before.

Before going in to stalk Shadow and Chance, the mountain lion can be seen licking his lips twice.

The mountain lion can be heard purring as he stalks Shadow and Chance.

Arnold Schwarzenkitty, Chance's nickname for the mountain lion, is a reference to the Austrian bodybuilder and actor Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Shadow and Chance's encounter with the mountain lion was foreshadowed in Kate's call to the rangers shortly after discovering the pets escaped from the farm, where the ranger talking to her notified her that the chances of finding them are minimal due to the presence of bears and mountain lions.

Whatever happened to the mountain lion afterwards is unknown. He survives but realizes he is outmatched and runs off scared and the dogs give out a victory bark, with Chance also yelling that, "Dogs rule and cats drool!" (a reversal of Sassy's statement to him before then).

The seesaw catapults the mountain lion over the cliff and into the river below. Chance gets distracted by a butterfly flying near his face and the big cat, tired of waiting lets out a loud roar and Chance focuses and jumps. The mountain lion does so and Shadow signals Chance to jump on the other side of the seesaw. Shadow stands by the seesaw and toys with the big cat and hopes to get him on the seesaw. For an old dog, Shadow outruns the mountain lion and brings him back to the dead end. The mountain lion finds him and a chase is ensued.

Shadow runs back to find him and starts barking to get his attention.

Shadow sees a long rock atop a boulder which looks like a seesaw, with Chance unwittingly providing Shadow with a plan to get rid of the mountain lion (Chance, believing he was going to die, was actually making final confessions to any bad behavior he did, specifically stealing the TV remote and burying it under the Seavers' see-saw set when Shadow came up with the plan). The dogs run into a dead end on a cliff above the river. The mountain lion does not chase them but slowly follows them and smells them. Chance sees him again a little closer and Chance yells again to Shadow and when Shadow furiously looks, the mountain lion lets out a shriek and the two dogs run away. Chance yells for Shadow to look but when he does the mountain lion disappears. The mountain lion gets closer to them and Chance spots him while Shadow was underwater looking for fish. Shadow and Chance are walking near a mountainside and the mountain lion is stalking them from above. During the journey, Sassy the cat gets separated from the two dogs Shadow and Chance and is presumed dead. In the film, three pets: two dogs and a cat are traveling in the woods to get back to their owners in the city.
