Very Good Dogs
9 November 2021
Some very famous movie dogs show up here, most notably Skippy, who played Asta in the THIN MAN series, and appeared in a dozen more movies. They are well-trained, with a fine variety of tricks, and cute as buttons.

There was a major aspect of Hollywood providing well-trained dogs for the movies. The Wrathers made a fine living from Lassie and his -- yes, his, all the screen Lassies were boys -- and silent screen comic Gale Henry and her second husband had many successful movie dogs, including Skippy.

Its one of the Warner Brothers Technicolor shorts intended to show off the process as much as whatever it is about. It's quite handsome.
