Dogs Heros in Movies and Television

Man Dog - from the movie Invasion of the Body Snatchers
Rin Tin Tin in The Man From Hell 1927







Can you image for a moment a dog with a human head. Would we see the dog as a human, dog or a freak? What would the media say to instill fear into the public? Would the dog-human be able to communicate like a human, but act like a dog or would it be silent like a dog, yet have a creative mind like a human? Could it teach how to get along with each other. Its the 33rd cineversary of this classic and it appears that the dog-human his not pleased. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cSNIK4ivuUw

Strongheart and Jule who were life mates. They have family that exist today.
Dogs have graced the big screen probably since movies and television began, but thats something I cannot confirm. What I do know is that dogs have graced the big screen since the early 1900s. While researching this topic, I found that Strongheart, a German Shepherd (October 1, 1919 - June 24, 1929) was the first dog to grace the big screen and recently celebrated his 92nd anniversary. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v8rEpXcAG0E. Strongheart is not just the first canine film star, but he also paved the way for Rin Tin Tin, also a german shepherd and a star in his own right (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rin_Tin_Tin) was featured in fictional stories on film, radio and television Today, there is a long list of different breeds that are dog actors gracing the big screen, television and commercials roles. "This amazing true story of Rin Tin Tin is scheduled for release late January 2012". http://www.rintintin.com/rttcom/ This film comes on its 32nd cineversary.
