MARLEY

Many could attest how tear-jerking the movie ¡°Marley and Me¡± was.

It wasn¡¯t the famous actors, it was just Marley, the highly strung,

boisterous, too playful and later on diagnosed as neurotic yellow

Labrador retriever. It was actually a true story of the life of the real

Marley and his owners Josh Grogan and his family. Keeping house

with a canine who can be too carefree and destructive was a

challenge and eye opener to the owner himself as he learns to accept

love and forgive a furry friend who never truly understood what

his human family expected of him.

 

 

CHARLIE B. BARKIN

Do all dogs really go to heaven? Charlie B. Barkin, that main character

in the 1989 animation ¡°All Dogs Go To Heaven¡±, would strive for that

to happen one more time after he goes back to the earth to avenge

his death only to realize that there is loyalty, honestly and love to

consider above all else. Together with his friends, Anne-Marie and

Itchy, he unknowingly proves that he definitely deserves to go

back to heaven after all.

 

 

BEETHOVEN

Imagine a humongous St. Bernard clobbering you at any given

opportunity. Sweet, icky, cute, cuddly, charming and helpful just like

¡°the¡± Beethoven who became a household name in the 90¡äs and

remained in the hearts of millions as other films of his canine

adventures were released over the years. Who could forget him?

 

 

SHADOW AND CHANCE

The adventures of Shadow, Chance and their feline friend Sassy in all

of the Homeward Bound films stirred the hearts of young and old

alike as they try to survive in the wild or other locations. Several

adaptations were released and starring these three furry pals teaching

what friendship and family really means.

 

 

BALTO

And yet another Disney blockbuster tops the list. Balto was a mixed

breed who¡¯s best friend was a duck named Boris. Audiences fell in

love with his adventures which illustrated his valour and intelligence

despite facing rejection from others because of his origins. The film is

based on a true story of a dog of the same name and his quest to help

transport the serum which can cure diphtheria.

 

 

LASSIE

She wasn¡¯t just a Collie who became popular because of the films and

television series she starred in. She was ¡°the¡± Lassie, whose name is

generic to a popular dog in the modern times and is one of the three

who owns a star in the Hollywood Walk of Fame plus a couple of Emmy

awards for her films. More than that, her history is rooted from acts of

bravery and courage during the First World War.

 

 

HACHIKO

Loyalty seems just a plain old description of someone who sticks around

no matter what. Then what better example can be synonymous to

extraordinary loyalty other than Hachiko, a golden brown Akita, who

waited for the return of his dead owner, Hidesabur¨­ Ueno, for nine years.

After his story became a national sensation, his faithfulness became

the national symbol of loyalty, particularly to the person and institution

of the Emperor and to the whole of Japan.

 

 

SNOOPY

Which super popular canine has a United States Air Force B-58

Hustler bomb, a special NASA honour, an Apollo lunar module, a

remotely operated underwater vehicle and a 280-degree tributary loop

in Vietnam¡¯s Mekong River named after him? If you say Snoopy,

then you totally nailed it. This fictional beagle maybe more than 50

years old but in truth he¡¯s going to live 50 more years considering his

extensive fame and amazingly huge following who¡¯ll forever be

smitten by his wit and anthropomorphic demeanour.
