UGO’s Top 11 Fictional Dogs
From UGO:
Better Than Underdog? Our Top 11 Fictional Dogs
By Jordan Hoffman
This weekend marks the release of Underdog, this seasons family film with the best tagline (”One Nation, Under Dog!”) Underdog has long been one of our favorite Thanksgiving Day Parade balloons — why shouldnt he do well in a feature film, too? There have been many fictional dogs weve been fond of over the years. Some might say we have eleven favorites, in fact.
11) Air Bud
We never saw the movie, but we loved the commercial. He got up to the freethrow line and would bounce the ball off his snout and into the basket. More than we could ever do in gym class.
10) K-9
Dr. Who was the only thing we watched on PBS, we swear. (Fine! You caught us! We always tape Live From Lincoln Center.) Anyway, Drs. Who may come and go — they have a scarf, then they have a pipe — but there’ll only ever be one K-9. Metallic, loyal and traveling through currents in the time/space continuum.
9) Hooch
As in Turner And. . . Tom Hanks may have won some awards, but Hooch deserves all the milkbones he can eat. He’s slobbery, flatulent and (we think) he fights crime. All our dog does is sleep. Our dog sucks!
The list also includes: Snoop Doggy Dog, Fluke, Rags from Sleeper, Checkers, Cujo, Astro, Rowlf the Dog, and at number one, Scooby Doo.
