Vinny sent me a link to a post aboutBest Movie Dogs From 90s and the list includes an awful lot of dogs from movies I’ve never seen. Air Bud, Ritchie Rich, A Goofy Movie? It took me a bit to realize that I wasn’t a kid in the 90’s and therefore would not have cared to see Ernest:Scared Stupid.

So, I googled “Best Movie Dogs From 80’s and found this: Hot Dogs of the ’80s. Not all of the dogs are from films, but they are mostly dogs that I do remember fondly. Here are my favorite selections from the list.

 

10. HOSE HEAD: The beer-gulping dog is owned by Bob and Doug McKenzie in 1983’s Strange Brew. Later he dons a cape and saves Octoberfest.

Who could forget a dog named Hose Head?

 

9. UBU: Technically, his full name is Ubu Roi, and he was the mascot for UBU Productions, which produced classics like Family Ties in the ’80s.

Sit Ubu, Sit. Good dog.

8. WONDER MUTT: Mark Harmon’s best friend in 1987’s Summer School isn’t happy until he finds “Bob” at the end of the flick.

 

 

 

By far, one of the coolest dogs ever.

 

4. HOOCH: Tom Hanks’ canine counterpart in 1989’s Turner & Hooch was ugly and slobbery. Alas, he didn’t make it ’til the credits rolled.

I think I cried at the end of the movie.

 

2. EINSTEIN: Doc Brown’s hairy pooch in Back to the Future becomes the world’s first DeLorean/time-traveling pooch.

How Spuds Macenzie beat out Einstein for the No. 1 slot, I don’t know. I guess becuase he had all the babes and all Einstein did was travel through time.

Who’s your favorite famous dog?
