In an age where people with money are more famous than people who have done good deeds it is perhaps poignant to remember that there have been canines with no axe to grind, no desire to be on any 'A List' yet still remain a celebrity in their own right and will always be remembered...and all they ever wanted to do is please their master...
Lassie is undoubtedly the world's most famous dog and is a character who has starred in many movies, TV shows, and books over the years. Lassie was created by Eric Knight and published as a short story in the Saturday Evening Post in 1938 and as a novel in 1940. All of the Lassie's were male and all the official Lassies are descendant from the original Lassie.
America’s first canine movie star was born in Germany where he was rescued from the trenches as a puppy and brought to the United States by Lee Duncan, an American pilot in World War I, who was also his trainer. First appearing in “Where The North Begins” in 1925, Rin Tin Tin went on to make 25 movies, sign his own contracts with a paw print, and at the height of his success was his studio’s major wage earner, earning approx. 5 Million Dollars.
Moose, a Jack Russell Terrier, portrays Eddie in the hit comedy series FRASIER. Eddie is Martin's faithful companion and partner in crime. Having graced the covers of such notable publications as Life, TV Guide and Entertainment Weekly, as well as joining the ranks of Cindy Crawford and Kathy Ireland with his own calendar. The longevity of Frasier necessitated the breeding of puppies as possible replacements for Moose. A daughter, Miko, was considered but never grew large enough (she was given to a technician); a son, Moosie, now lives with Peri Gilpin (the character Ros in the show). Moose's son Enzo was a closer match and turned out to have unusually similar facial markings; later in the series he was used as a stunt double to perform the more physically challenging tricks for his aging sire. Enzo took over the role after eight years
Toto was a Cairn Terrier whose real name was "Terry". And, even though Toto was referred to as a "he" in MGM's classic film, Toto was really a "she". The dog's salary, $125 per week, was more than many human actors in the film. Because of the popularity of the film, Terry's name was changed to Toto in 1942.
He was a white American Pit Bull Terrier with a ring around one eye, and played alongside a lovable bunch of kids called 'The Little Rascals' comedies of the 1920s and 1930s. The ring around Petey's eye was actually drawn on.
