The Most Famous Dogs in Film and TV

Pancho

The famous millionaire dog (his photo is at the top of this article), who’s starred in many series such as Aquí no hay quien viva, will always live on in our memories. He was an intelligent and obedient dog that you could always count on to stick to the script. Although he has sadly passed away but he will never be forgotten.

Lassie

How many of us have grown up with Lassie? This little Collie was the star of his own series, including many other films and series.

Hachiko

This Akita played the role of Hachiko in a true story film that was one of the most loved movies by viewers. The sad film broke many records. The heartwarming story and dog actor moved the hearts of everyone who saw it.

Toto

The black dog from films such as The Wizard of Oz, was a terrier who in real life was named Terry. He was the star of other series and films. This dog was so talented, he ended up playing a better role in every film he stared in.

Beethoven

How could we ever forget this chunky Saint Bernard? As of being a puppy to adulthood, he stood out for being very naughty and getting up to plenty of mischief. Despite his role, he always remained noble and ended up being the hero in several scenes.

Uggie

Uggie played an incredible role in the film, The Artist, an almost silent movie which won an Oscar in 2011. His star-like acting had him become the first dog to have his paw prints placed in the cement at Grauman’s Chinese theater. Incredible!

White Fang

Probably everyone remembers the Husky that starred in his own movie, which told the story of a happy dog that lived in Western Canada. One day he was sold to a fierce owner who used him to fight against people and other dogs. He had to fight to get back to his old quiet life, but did he ever make it?

Frank

When talking about famous dogs in films and TV you might remember that little pug who played a funny role in the movie Men in Black. Well, his real name is Frank, and thanks to that film, many people have wanted to adopt a Pug just like him. They’re so cute, don’t you think?

Marley

A recently married couple fell in love with a little Labrador that turned their lives upside down. There were many times when they thought about getting rid of him, but the bond between them was stronger than their despair. Will Marley ever change some day?

The Andrex Dog

From the moment people saw that little Labrador puppy tugging on roll of toilet paper and dragging it all over the house, they completely fell in love with him. Obviously, no one would ever want their dog to do that at home, but if they ever do, it would be so adorable.

And the Most Famous Animated Dogs

Although they weren’t real, all of them were part of everyone’s childhood, and some continue to touch people’s heart today. As a child, you might have thought that they really existed, and even though you know better now, they still live on in your memory. Here are some of the most well-known canine cartoon characters:

• Slinky. The unforgettable sausage dog from Toy Story.
