Note:
    For other listings, select  options  where you can choose to list famous dogs from movies, books, comics, TV, or from history. And you can sort by dog name, breed, span of years, or title (venue). Or you can find all dogs with a specific name or start of a name.
    Touching (or cursor over) a dog image produces an enlargement. Touch anywhere else to close the larger image. Selecting dogs that were famous in a particular span of years may include dogs whose initial fame came much earlier. Tapping (or clicking on) any underlined name will link to more information.
