Lassie and Old Yeller?
What did these two movie dogs have in common?
The original Lassie was named Pal and was abandoned by his owner.
Old Yeller was named Spike. He too was abandoned, but he was left in an animal shelter.
Lassie was bred large to look big next to a child. Old Yeller was so big that one of his human co-stars rode him like a horse.
Spike (Old Yeller)was in a lot of the Lassie episodes. He also played Petrache in "A Dog Of Flanders." Fabulous movie dogs, both.
For two dogs that started life being abandoned, I say they did rather well!
