Today (Nov 5th Northern Hemisphere) in Battersea Park, (London) the "Dog Walk Of Fame" will open. A permanent memorial dedicated to some of the more famous dogs of the Silver Screen.
Gromit (Wallace & Gromit) Each dog who makes it into the Walk of Fame will be commemorated with a plaque and bench at the heart of Battersea Park, around the famous bandstand. Dogs will be inducted into the hall of fame on an annual basis and will be selected from all genres and eras of film history.
"Dogs play a very important role in our lives, through their companionship, unconditional love and rewarding relationship they give us," said Caroline Kisko of the Kennel Club at the unveiling near the famous Battersea Dogs' Home in south-west London. "It is fantastic to see that this is felt the world over through the recognition given by the film industry, and the number of these films that are box office hits prove how much love the public have for dogs in general."
Bullseye (Oliver!) Lassie (Lassie Come Home) Toto (The Wizard of Oz) Bobby (Greyfriars Bobby, The True Story of a Dog) Gromit (Wallace & Gromit in The Curse of the Were-Rabbit) Chance & Shadow (Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey) Fang (Harry Potter films) Those left out of the 2007 awards included Pongo and Perdita from "101 Dalmatians", Hooch from "Turner and Hooch", the four-legged stars of "Lady and the Tramp" and disappointing for some Tintin's sidekick Snowy also failed to make this year's awards.
