A quick and cute book that gives a good history of dogs in the movie industry. Lots of great pictures of dogs in various film roles over the last century.

Brief and visually dense, this book is prime for canine (as well as movie) appreciating youths.

A quick, fun little book with lots of movie pictures. Learned a lot about Rin Tin Tin (or Rinty as he was known to his fans). I thought the comments by Coco the chocolate lab were cute. And I did like that in this book the mixed breeds or mutts get as much credit as the purebreds. I am a big fan of mutts myself.
