Snoopy, while born on October 2nd, first made his appearance on the strip on October 4, 1950, two days after the strip premiered and was identified by name on November 10. Schulz was originally going to call him "Sniffy", until he discovered that name was used in a different comic strip. He changed it to "Snoopy" after remembering that his late mother Dena Schulz had commented that if their family were ever to acquire a third dog, it should be called Snoopi. In many earlier strips it is not clear who Snoopy belongs to. Indeed Snoopy appears to belong to all of the neighborhood kids. Schulz once said that the best idea he ever had in the strip was to move Snoopy from inside his doghouse to the rooftop. Preceding that, there was a gradual evolution of the character, from something like an actual dog to an anthropomorphic character, more like typical cartoon animals.Frank was portrayed in both movies by a pug named "Mushu". Mushu was very well trained, especially for a pug, and was faithful and precise in his actions. The CG animators found their task easy since Mushu was so aware of and responsive to the environment, which is unusual for an animal actor. Mushu's ability to complete takes with little or no reshoot also reduced total filming time and saved the studio money.All collies playing Lassie have been male, playing a female dog. The female collie loses her coat at least once a year, making it unsuitable for use year-round. Also, the male is larger and a child actor can play opposite the dog for longer before outgrowing him. Lassie is portrayed in the two pilots by Pal, the MGM film Lassie. Thereafter, five of his male descendants play the role. His son Lassie Junior performs through the Jeff years and first two Timmy years (1954-1958), retiring in 1959 to battle cancer.His son Spook plays the role briefly in season five, in all of season six, most of season seven, and very briefly in season eight (1958-1961). Baby, son of Lassie Junior and brother to Spook, shares Spook's thespian chores at the end of season seven, the last Timmy years, and two of the Ranger years (1960-1965). Mire appears in the last Ranger years and the Lassie alone year (1966-1970). Hey Hey portrays Lassie during the two syndicated years (1971-1972).Toto, of The Wizard of Oz, was played by a female Cairn terrier named Terry even though "she" was refered to as "he" in the movie. Her owner, Carl Spitz, a Hollywood animal trainer received a salary of $125.00/week to use her in the movie.The German Shepherd "Jerry Lee" was played by Koton, a real-life police dog from the Kansas City, Missouri police department. In 1991, Koton was shot and killed while trying to apprehend a suspect in the murder of a police officer. Ten days before his death, Koton found ten kilos of cocaine worth more than $1.2 million.Moose, the feisty Jack Russell terrier who played Skip in the movie My Dog Skip and Eddie in TV's Frasier was a shelter rescue dog. He passed away at 16 1/2 years old in June 2006.Rin Tin Tin was the name given to several related German Shepherd dogs in film and television. The first of the line (c. September 10, 1918 – August 10, 1932) was a shell-shocked pup found by American serviceman Lee Duncan in a bombed-out dog kennel in Lorraine, France, less than two months before the end of World War I. He was named for a puppet called Rintintin that French children gave to the American soldiers for good luck. The dog returned at war's end with Duncan to his home in Los Angeles, California. Nicknamed Rinty by his owner, the dog learned tricks and could leap 11 feet 9 inches. He was seen performing at a dog show by film producer Charles Jones, who paid Duncan to film Rinty. Duncan became convinced Rin Tin Tin could become the next Strongheart. The dog's big break came when he stepped in for a recalcitrant wolf in The Man FromHell's River (1922). Rin Tin Tin would be cast as a wolf or wolf-hybrid many times in his career, though not looking like one. His first starring role, 1923's Where The North Begins, playing alongside silent screen actress Claire Adams, was a huge success often credited with saving Warner Brothers from bankruptcy. It was followed by Shadows of the North (1923), Clash of the Wolves (1925), A Dog of the Regiment (1927), Tiger Rose (1929) and The Lightning Warrior (1931). His financial success for Warner Brothers inspired several imitations from other studios looking to cash in on Rin Tin Tin's popularity, notably RKO's Ace the Wonder Dog, also a German Shepherd. Following Rin Tin Tin's death in 1932 in Los Angeles (in the arms of actress Jean Harlow, according to Hollywood legend), his owner arranged to have the dog returned to his country of birth for burial in the Cimetière des Chiens, the renowned pet cemetery in the Parisian suburb of Asnières-sur-Seine. Rin Tin Tin was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 1623 Vine St.Pete the Pup was a famous dog character in Hal Roach's Our Gang comedies (later known as The Little Rascals) during the 1920s and 1930s. Otherwise known as "Pete, the Dog With the Ring Around His Eye", or simply "Petey", he was famous for having a circled eye that was added on by Hollywood make-up artist Max Factor and credited as an oddity in Ripley's Believe It or Not. The original Pete (sired by Earl Tudor's "Black Jack") named Pal the Wonder Dog had a natural ring almost completely around his eye; dye was used to finish it off.When he was about six months old, he made a cameo appearance in the Harold Lloyd classic The Freshman, in the 1925. Pal first started out as "Tige" in the Buster Brown series in the 1920s, It was during this time that he obtained the circled eye, and when he was recruited to appear in the Our Gang comedies later that year, Hal Roach simply left it on, creating one of the most recognized dogs in film history.Trainer and owner Lt. Harry Lucenay used one of Pal's offspring as Pete in the series after Pal passed away. This dog, named "Lucenay's Peter", was dual-registered as an AKC American Staffordshire Terrier and as a UKC American Pit Bull Terrier. Lucenay's Peter was whelped September 6, 1929, and bred by A. A. Keller. A few other dogs played Petey, but Lucenay's Peter was the most famous. After being fired from the Our Gang series in 1932, Harry Lucenay retired Peter to Atlantic City, where he was photographed with children at the famed Steel Pier. Roach used a number of unrelated bulldogs to portray Pete in Our Gang until 1938.Pete became as recognizable and popular as the kids in the gang. Pal the Wonder Dog appeared in Our Gang comedies until 1930, and according to Our Gang member Jean Darling died mysteriously. Urban legend has it that Pal died after someone fed him meat laced with glass. This is completely unproven, and the conventional thinking is that Pal died of natural causes/old age. Lucenay's Peter continued on and died of natural causes in 1946, two years after the Our Gang series ended.A large, yellow, flop eared pup, with extra large feet and very smart. That describes the dog Spike, Frank Weatherwax rescued from a shelter for three dollars. In his early years, Spike didn't show signs of greatness. He appeared clumsy and ungainly. His bark was more of a yelp. But he took readily to training and was always ready to please his master. Overnight he seemed to grow into his feet and develop a mature bark.Frank's wife, Connie, had noticed that in the Saturday Evening Posts which she had just received contained a three part story called "Old Yeller" by Fred Gibson. From the illustrations and the description of the dog, Connie knew that this story was made for Spike. She was enthusiastic as she told Frank about it. The next day when Frank picked up the mail he opened the Hollywood Reporter and read that Walt Disney had bought the movie rights to Old Yeller. At Connie's urging Frank called the Disney Studios and arranged to show Spike. Disney did not like Spike. Spike had been raised around children and was used to playing and having fun. He did not know how to act vicious. It took weeks of hard training, but Frank convinced Disney that Spike could do the job.Walt Disney suggested that Frank lighten up a few dark spots around Spikes nose, and trim the neck hair. After that, Spike became "Old Yeller". "Old Yeller" is not the only movie Spike has done. He was also in "A Dog of Flanders" and was in several episodes of the T. V. series "The Westerner". Spikes son played "Rontu" in "Island of the Blue Dolphins", and his grandson appeared in "Junior Bonner"Marmaduke is a newspaper comic strip drawn by Brad Anderson from 1954 to the present day. The strip was created by Anderson, with help from Phil Leeming (1955-1962) and later Dorothy Leeming (1963-1969). The strip revolves around the Winslow family and their Great Dane, Marmaduke.The strip on Sundays also has a side feature called "Dog-Gone Funny," in which one or more panels are devoted to dog anecdotes submitted by the fans. Anderson received the National Cartoonist Society Newspaper Panel Cartoon Award for the strip in 1978. Marmaduke was originally going to be a Boxer.The dog that played Tiger in the Brady Bunch, who's real name was Tiger, was hit by a car and died of his injuries before the 4th episode. When a replacement dog proved problematic, the producers decided the dog would only appear when essential to the plot. Tiger appeared in about half the episodes in the first season and about half a dozen episodes in the second season. His last appearance was in "What Goes Up," which aired in 1971. Eventually, the dog was phased out altogether. He disappeared completely after the third season and was not mentioned again, not even when the show ended.
