From Edison Studios’ nineteenth-century “actualities” to present day internet videos of twerking Corgis, dogs’ presence on film is as old as the medium. Join Christina and Esther in part one of this special joint edition of Doggy History and Film History as they consider archetypal film dogs – doggy actors, heroes, athletes, villains, and victims, and learn about the role canines played in shaping the film industry and its practices.

I know this podcast is old but I just discovered it. Are you familiar with the movies based on the books of J.R. Ackerly? Also I discovered the online collection of the M.C. Migel library at the American Printing House for the Blind. Search for the word "Dog" and you come up with a few old books on wonder dogs like "Pep the Story of a Brave Dog" https://archive.org/details/aphmigel?and[]=dog Leave a Reply. |
