Favorite Fido Flicks
If you’re like me, you’ve probably been watching dogs since you were a little kid. I remember seeing the film Benji for the first time and wanting so badly to have a dog of my very own.
My dog crushes continued with Lady & The Tramp, 101 Dalmations, and Scooby Doo (he may be animated, but I adore him!).
While most films these days don’t use dogs as central characters, who can forget the dog in Summer School that would jump into the surf to retrieve its ball? Or the dog in The River Wild that helped save the day? And what about Tom Hanks’ co-star in Turner & Hooch?
I think the television show “Frasier” is at least partially responsible for the popularity of Jack Russell terriers (well, they rank higher than Greyhounds, anyway!).
From Fluke, to White Fang, to Old Yeller, there are so many great films about, starring and/or co-starring dogs.
What’s your favorite fido flick?
