Animal House Friday: Famous pets of film, TV
I apologize for being a little late with Animal House Friday. I'm on assignment in Ocean City and there's an annoying lack of Wi-Fi. But I've made it to a Panera, mainly to log on and fulfill my Animal House duties.
So I was thinking about famous pets. If you had to choose an all-time favorite movie, commercial or TV -- or, why not, Broadway -- pet, which one would it be.
I always had a HUGE soft spot for Eddie, the Jack Russell terrier on Frazier. He was simply adorable. And what a natural actor!
Do you have a favorite? If so, why? Or, on the flip side, a pet that you could never quite stand?
Do you think your pet has star quality?
Let Unleashed know. Share your thoughts -- whatever they may be -- and be eligible for a fantabulous, amazing, glorious, prize, to be selected later this afternoon once I escape the cold, rainy beach. I'll give you a little more time today since I posted so late....

Petey from The Little Rascals has always been my favorite!
Having had my own bully breed dogs, I have a soft spot for how sweet they can be.

The best animal actor was Mr. Ed. What a personality! Plus he could even drive a car (at least in one episode). Definitely a major talent!

My first furbaby, KC, a Cairn Terrier, has left me with a HUGE soft spot for the breed. As a result, i always loved, and continue to love, "Toto" from The Wizard of Oz. i still think Terry (who played "Toto") must have been the runt of her litter because neither KC or my current Cairn, Han, could ever fit into Dorothy's basket!!! i would break my arm trying to carry them that way =)

Favorite TV pet...Spot from Star Trek: The Next Generation. The scenes with Spot and Data were hysterical! Was Data training Spot or was Spot training Data? All cat lovers know the answer to this question. Favorite moment: Data's recitation of his poem, "Ode to Spot".

OH. My favorite from film and TV is Rin Tin Tin - the most noble and courageous guy.

Salem, from Sabrina the Teenage Witch.
Unlike all those dogs mentioned above, he could talk!
