Dog Walker Tales

A Quirky Column about Dog Walking Adventures in the City of Dog-Owning Love

Dogs in Film

Seeing as how there is so much coverage of the Philly Film Festival going on right now, and seeing as how so many dog walkers search for yet another interesting topic to discuss with their peers at the local parks, I figured, hey, why not compile a list of dogs in film. From this list, all dog owners and walkers can create their own sort of trivia. Not to mention, it’s just kinda cool to know this stuff.

So, in the spirit of film making, here goes a short list of famous hounds, their breeds and the movies in which they appeared (source: Wikipedia):

1. Beasley, Dogue de Bordeaux, Turner & Hooch
2. Ben (II), Golden Retriever, as Howard in Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey
3. Buddy, Golden Retriever, Air Bud
4. D.J., Siberian Husky, as Demon in Snow Dogs
5. Higgins, as Benji in Benji
6. Mooney, Chihuahua, as bruiser in Legally Blonde 1 & 2
7. Pal, Collie, as Lassie in Lassie Come Home
8. Tango, Golden Retriever, as Bailey in Bailey’s Billion$
9. Terry, Cairn Terrier, as Toto in The Wizard of Oz

Alright already, get out there and impress them all with your newly acquired dogs in film knowledge.
