WIN BEST IN SHOW BY ACING OUR FAMOUS DOGS QUIZ
Test your knowledge of well-known pups in books, TV and film
By
Matt Alderton,
Members Only Access
Published August 16, 2023
10 Questions
Is Snoopy your favorite Peanuts character? Did Old Yeller’s tragic ending make
you ugly-cry? You’re not alone. While approximately half of American households
own a dog — more than 65 million, according to the American Pet Products
Association — puppers’ ubiquity in literature, television and film means that
practically every American household has probably been entertained by one. In
honor of National Dog Day on Aug. 26, take our quiz to see if you can get a
“pawfect” score.

[ { "question" : "Which of these animated dogs is Mickey Mouse’s pet?",
"answers" : [ { "answer" : "Goofy", "correctAnswer" : false }, { "answer" :
"Pluto", "correctAnswer" : true }, { "answer" : "Pongo", "correctAnswer" : false
}, { "answer" : "Copper", "correctAnswer" : false } ], "multiSelect" : false,
"explanation" : "Pluto made his debut in the 1930 Mickey Mouse film “The Chain
Gang,” in which a pair of bloodhounds chase Mickey when he breaks out of prison.
Walt Disney used one of the bloodhounds in a subsequent film, “The Picnic,” in
which the dog — at that time named Rover — belongs to Minnie Mouse. In the 1931
film “The Moose Hunt,” Disney cast the same dog as Mickey’s pet instead of
Minnie’s, naming him “Pluto the Pup” in honor of the newly discovered dwarf
planet Pluto.", "hint" : "", "hintLink" : "", "questionImgCaption" : "",
"questionImgCredit" : "" }, { "question" : "True or false: In the TV show and
movies, Lassie is played by a male collie.", "answers" : [ { "answer" : "True",
"correctAnswer" : true }, { "answer" : "False", "correctAnswer" : false } ],
"multiSelect" : false, "explanation" : "Although the Lassie character is female,
director Fred M. Wilcox chose a male rough collie named Pal to star in the 1943
film “Lassie Come Home.” Pal played Lassie in six feature films and two pilot
episodes of the CBS TV series that debuted in 1954. Since Pal, eight more dogs
have played Lassie in various shows and movies — all male and all descendants of
Pal.", "hint" : "", "hintLink" : "", "questionImgCaption" : "",
"questionImgCredit" : "" }, { "question" : "What color is Clifford, the giant
dog who appears in a popular series of children’s books?", "answers" : [ {
"answer" : "Red", "correctAnswer" : true }, { "answer" : "Yellow",
"correctAnswer" : false }, { "answer" : "Black", "correctAnswer" : false }, {
"answer" : "Brown", "correctAnswer" : false } ], "multiSelect" : false,
"explanation" : "Norman Bridwell wrote approximately 150 books featuring a giant
red dog named Clifford. The first, “Clifford the Big Red Dog,” was published in
1963. According to Bridwell, Clifford is red by happenstance: “It was red
because I happened to have red paint on the drawing table that night,” Bridwell
told The Boston Globe in 2004.", "hint" : "", "hintLink" : "",
"questionImgCaption" : "", "questionImgCredit" : "" }, { "question" : "True or
false: Jack London’s 1903 bestseller “The Call of the Wild” tells the story of a
dog named Charlie.", "answers" : [ { "answer" : "True", "correctAnswer" : false
}, { "answer" : "False", "correctAnswer" : true } ], "multiSelect" : false,
"explanation" : "The canine character and narrator in London’s story is Buck, a
St. Bernard-Scotch collie mix who’s stolen from his life as a pampered pet in
California and sold into service as a sled dog in the Yukon territory. According
to London, Buck was based on a dog named Jack who belonged to brothers Marshall
and Louis Whitford Bond, who were his landlords in 1897, when he spent a winter
prospecting for gold in the Canadian tundra.", "hint" : "", "hintLink" : "",
"questionImgCaption" : "", "questionImgCredit" : "" }, { "question" : "During
the movie’s heart-pounding climax, Old Yeller saves his family from what kind of
animal?", "answers" : [ { "answer" : "A bear", "correctAnswer" : false }, {
"answer" : "A mountain lion", "correctAnswer" : false }, { "answer" : "A wolf",
"correctAnswer" : true }, { "answer" : "A fox", "correctAnswer" : false } ],
"multiSelect" : false, "explanation" : "During the most famous scene in “Old
Yeller,” a rabid wolf attacks Old Yeller’s human family. Old Yeller intervenes
and fights the wolf — which isn’t really a wolf at all. For safety reasons, a
German shepherd was made to look like a wolf. The dogs were taught to
play-fight, and both wore muzzles during the scene to protect them from
accidental bites.", "hint" : "", "hintLink" : "", "questionImgCaption" : "",
"questionImgCredit" : "" }, { "question" : "A female Cairn terrier named Terry
was paid $125 per week to star alongside Judy Garland in which of the actress’s
famous films?", "answers" : [ { "answer" : "“A Star Is Born”", "correctAnswer" :
false }, { "answer" : "“Meet Me in St. Louis”", "correctAnswer" : false }, {
"answer" : "“Summer Stock”", "correctAnswer" : false }, { "answer" : "“The
Wizard of Oz”", "correctAnswer" : true } ], "multiSelect" : false, "explanation"
: "For her role as Toto, Terry earned more than double what some of the film’s
human actors were paid. The Munchkins, for instance, earned just $50 per week.
Although she appeared in more than 10 feature films — as many as 23, by some
counts — “The Wizard of Oz” is the only movie for which Terry received a screen
credit.", "hint" : "", "hintLink" : "", "questionImgCaption" : "",
"questionImgCredit" : "" }, { "question" : "Which famous cartoon dog was
inspired by its creator’s family pet, Spike?", "answers" : [ { "answer" :
"Scooby-Doo", "correctAnswer" : false }, { "answer" : "Odie", "correctAnswer" :
false }, { "answer" : "Snoopy", "correctAnswer" : true }, { "answer" :
"Huckleberry Hound", "correctAnswer" : false } ], "multiSelect" : false,
"explanation" : "In 1934, the family of “Peanuts” creator Charles M. Schulz
adopted a black and white mutt named Spike. Sixteen years later, Spike was the
inspiration for Charlie Brown’s dog, Snoopy. Snoopy and Spike even had similar
markings. In 1975, Schulz further memorialized his childhood pet when he
introduced a new “Peanuts” character named after him: Snoopy’s older brother,
Spike.", "hint" : "", "hintLink" : "", "questionImgCaption" : "",

advertising mascot for what beverage brand?", "answers" : [ { "answer" : "Coke",

"answer" : "Bud Light", "correctAnswer" : true }, { "answer" : "Mountain Dew",
"correctAnswer" : false } ], "multiSelect" : false, "explanation" :
"Anheuser-Busch introduced Spuds MacKenzie in a 1987 TV commercial that aired
during Super Bowl XXI. The ad poked fun at 1980s advertising cliches and
featured Spuds, an English bull terrier, as a wealthy jet-setter who was beloved
by women and admired by men. The shtick was that nobody in the ads acknowledged
that Spuds was a dog; he was treated entirely as if he were a man. Which was
ironic, because the dog that played Spuds was actually a female.", "hint" : "",
"hintLink" : "", "questionImgCaption" : "", "questionImgCredit" : "" }, {
"question" : "What is the name of Elle Woods’ beloved pet Chihuahua in the 2001
film “Legally Blonde”?", "answers" : [ { "answer" : "Bullseye", "correctAnswer"
: false }, { "answer" : "Nacho", "correctAnswer" : false }, { "answer" :
"Bruiser", "correctAnswer" : true }, { "answer" : "Duke", "correctAnswer" :
false } ], "multiSelect" : false, "explanation" : "A Chihuahua named Moonie
played Bruiser in the original “Legally Blonde” and the 2003 sequel. According
to Hollywood animal trainer Sue Chipperton, Moonie made fast friends with
another famous Chihuahua, Gidget, the pint-size pooch in the 1990s Taco Bell
commercials. “When I first brought Moonie home to prep for ‘Legally Blonde,’ the
two of them had the cutest little interaction, jumping around and bowing as they
greeted each other,” Chipperton said. ", "hint" : "", "hintLink" : "",
"questionImgCaption" : "", "questionImgCredit" : "" }, { "question" : "A 2008
film starring Jennifer Aniston and Owen Wilson as dog owners features a yellow
Labrador retriever named what?", "answers" : [ { "answer" : "Mary",
"correctAnswer" : false }, { "answer" : "Marley", "correctAnswer" : true }, {
"answer" : "Margot", "correctAnswer" : false }, { "answer" : "Maggie",
"correctAnswer" : false } ], "multiSelect" : false, "explanation" : "The film
“Marley & Me” was based on the autobiographical book “Marley & Me: Life and Love
With the World’s Worst Dog,” by John Grogan. It tells the true story of a young
couple who adopt a rambunctious, troublemaking puppy that ends up holding them
together over the years as they build a home and grow a family. Because the
movie traces his life from puppydom to old age, 22 different dogs were cast to
play Marley.", "hint" : "", "hintLink" : "", "questionImgCaption" : "",
