It took about two hours for Greta to worm her way into my heart after I adopted her. And although there have been challenges along the way, I could not imagine my life without her.

As more and more greyhound racetracks are closing (hallelujah!), that means there are that many more greys that need forever homes.

Here’s a great article on getting a greyhound in the white house.

Or your house.

At this year’s Cannes film festival, The Palm Dog (the award for the best performance by a dog in a Cannes film) was won by Lucy, the canine lead in Kelly Riechardt’s Wendy and Lucy. The mixed breed pooch, part hunting dog and part retriever, appears alongside Michelle Williams in the film.

Lucy is Riechardt’s own pet. In the film, Williams plays Wendy, whose car breaks down on her way to seek summer work in Alaska.

The jury prize went to Molly, the dog appearing in, and on the poster of, Norwegian comedy O’Horten, directed by Bent Hamer.

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?
