Hollywood isn’t just for people, it’s also for dogs. K-9s of every kind have graced the silver screen, and it’s time to point out some of the more notable ones. From the iconic to the bizarre, here are the most famous dogs to be in the biz.  

                                        Benji 

                                         The first big wig.

                         

He was talented and adorable, and although most people under 30 haven’t seen his movies, the name Benji still hits everyone’s ears with a ring of familiarity. If Benji were around today, his tricks and skills might be outdated and not worthy of movie stardom, but it is because of him that so many dogs today get a shot at the limelight.
 

                                                        Cujo

                      The first psycho killer dog.

What is scarier than a 130-pound Saint Bernard thats only aspiration in life is to terrorize and maul everyone it comes into contact with? Cujo introduced the general public to the notion that big dogs can go nuts, and that if they do, there is hell to pay. After seeing this Stephen King thriller, I have never felt the same way about dogs over 100 LBS.
 

                             Air Bud

    A better athlete than anyone on the U.S. Volleyball Team, because he is a dog.

                  

All I can say about a dog that fights crime while on the way to a volleyball match where he then single-handedly dominates the game is WOW.  Is there anything that Air Bud can’t do? Do you think he could fix the economy?  
 

                        Hooch (From Turner and Hooch)

                             He made it stylish to be a slobbering pooch.

Hooch was and is one heck of a crime fighter, but what really made people fall in love with him was his tendency to look adorable while slobbering all over everything. Slime is not cute, unless it is coming out of a cuddly puppies mouth.

                   Beverly Hills Chihuahua

     Standing up for toy dog’s rights, and making a ton of money in the process.

Toy dogs are so cute. Not really, at all. This movie dog is going to go down in history for standing up for all the little guys that get stuffed into a $2,000 purse. Well, actually he will go down in history as being another victim of a shameless Disney movie that objectifies animals.

                           Teen Wolf

                                Where Dr. J meets White Fang.

This movie is for anyone that wants to know what would happen if you crossed Michael J. Fox with a husky and gave him a basketball. I really like this flick, but there are a couple of plot lines that I still don’t get: 1. Why donn’t people freak the fuck out when dude turns into a wolf, and 2. Why would dude turning into a wolf make him a better basketball player?  Think about it. 

                        Frank (Men In Black)

                Pugs shouldn't sing, unless they are space aliens.

Frank, the lovable yet gruff pug from Men In Black , definitely left a lasting impression on the millions that saw this movie. So long lasting, that he might be the reason why pugs become such a fashionable dog.
