Think of a Famous Dog.

**Dorothy39** · 06-10-2006, 06:28 PM

I thought it might be a little fun to recall the name of a famous dog that appeared in either a movie, on television, in the news, etc.

If you are interested in participating, play along.

I will mention one, ( out of many famous dogs) to start with

Asta: from "The Thin Man" , with William Powell and Myrna Loy

Ditto on "The Beverly Hillbillies" I often play the theme song from that show on my guitar. I imitated Granny when I was a sixth grader,

, now when I look in the mirror with my hair pulled back, I see Irene Ryan laughing back at me.

Welllll Doggies. Gotta love Buddy Ebsen, (notice I spelled his name correctly)

I back spaced just a little.

Oh, that Duke!!!!!

Finally, someone gave me the name fo that Dog on the television show, Topper. Neil!!!

I did look up information about Asta, and I read some interesting facts about him.

He played the dog in the Movie version of Topper. I think Cary Grant was in the movie.

I really can't remember much about Topper on TV, I knew there was a dog on the show, and that 2 ghosts were on the show. I was too little to understand it , my 3 older sisters had headaches trying to explain it to me.
