And the Best Pop Culture Dog Is . . .
Who's your favorite dog in movies and TV? The website TheRinger.comdecided to hold its own pageant. Dogs were judged in four categories: Utility, Cuteness, Relevance, and Intangibles.
And the winner was . . .Beethoven the Saint Bernard.
The contest was a little lame though, because they disqualified so-called "legendary" dogs like Lassie, Snoopy, Old Yeller, Lady, AND the Tramp. (???)
Beethoven's runners-up were John Wick's puppy . . . Frank the Pug from"Men in Black". . . Chance the American Bulldog from"Homeward Bound". . . Charlie the Labradoodle from"A Star Is Born". . .
Buddy the Golden Retriever from"Air Bud". . . and Olivia from both"Widows" and"Game Night".
Other dogs that were considered included Disney's Pluto . . . Santa's Little Helper from"The Simpsons". . . the Taco Bell Chihuahua . . . CatDog . . . Einstein from"Back to the Future". . . Toto from"The Wizard of Oz". . .
Hercules from"The Sandlot". . . Fang from"Harry Potter". . . Baxter from"Anchorman". . . and Eddie from"Frasier".
