5 most famous on screen dogs

November 5, 2014 by Gary Collinson

You don’t have to be pet owner to love watching dogs in films or on the TV. Young or old we never tire of seeing our faithful friends save the day or entertain us in some other way.

Whether it’s a live action drama or a cartoon caper, dogs have always made their mark on both the big cinema screens and the TV. Of course in real life you should make sure that your canine friend has got dog insurance from More Than for his own real life adventures.

In the meantime here are the top 5 most famous dogs that have graced our screens both large and small.

K-9

Although he hasn’t yet featured in the more recent reboot of Doctor Who that doesn’t mean that new Time Lord Peter Capaldi won’t meet his long time faithful companion again at some point. Having made his first appearance in 1977 in episode “The Invisible Enemy”, K-9 was created by the series writers Bob Baker and Dave Martin to provide narration.

Snoopy

It shouldn’t come as a shock that this little beagle is still one of the most famous dogs on our screens and in our newspapers. Having made his first appearance in 1950 in Charles M Schulz’s ‘Peanuts’ went on to find fame in both TV and film. Instantly recognizable, this dynamic character and his friends continue to entertain us today.

Lassie

From falling down a well to being lost in the woods you could always count on Lassie to save the day. With a nose that sniffed out danger wherever it occurred we watched in wonder as this brave canine ran to raise the alarm and saved someone’s life week after week.

Scooby Doo

Truly one of the most lovable dogs to feature in a cartoon, Scooby Doo found a place in our hearts with his array of facial expressions and an unmistakable voice. Despite being scared of just about anything and everything together with his gang of friends he managed to catch the bad guy time and time again.

Eddie

Making his name in the series ‘Frasier‘ this dog was quite possibly the easiest character to love in the whole show. This Jack Russell found fame after only six months of screen training after his original owner had despaired at his antics!
