Jeanna Dennis recently asked for literary dog names for her new puppy. Would you believe a Wikipedia article titled "List of fictional dogs"!! When I stumbled upon it I thought right away of the many display / bulletin board ideas you could use this list to develop. The URL is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fictional_dogs The list is divided into these sections: * 1<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/#Dogs_in_literature> Dogs in literature * <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/#Dogs_in_film>2 Dogs in film * <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/#Dogs_on_the_radio>3 Dogs on the radio * <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/#Dogs_in_television>4 Dogs in television * <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/#Dogs_in_advertising>5 Dogs in advertising * <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/#Dogs_in_Animation_and_Puppetry>6 Dogs in Animation and Puppetry * <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/#Dogs_in_song>7 Dogs in song * <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/#Dogs_in_video_games>8 Dogs in video games * <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/#Dogs_in_comics>9 Dogs in comics Here is a _very_ short sample from the Dogs in literature section: * Jack from <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki//wiki/Little_House_on_the_Prairie>Little House on the Prairie series by <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki//wiki/Laura_Ingalls_Wilder>Laura Ingalls Wilder. * Jenny, the star of <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki//wiki/Maurice_Sendak>Maurice Sendak's <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki//w/index.php?title=Higglety-Pigglety_Pop%2C_or%2C_There_Must_Be_More_To_Life&action=edit>Higglety-Pigglety Pop, or, There Must Be More To Life * Jip, one of <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki//wiki/Doctor_Doolittle>Doctor Doolittle's animal companions in the books by <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki//wiki/Hugh_Lofting>Hugh Lofting * John Joiner, the terrier who rescued Tom Kitten from being made into a pudding by rats in <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki//wiki/Beatrix_Potter>Beatrix Potter's <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki//wiki/The_Roly-Poly_Pudding>The Roly-Poly Pudding * Kashtanka, the main character in <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki//wiki/Anton_Chekhov>Anton Chekhov's short story of the same name <http://www.eldritchpress.org/ac/jr/144.htm>(full text) * Kazak, the hound of space, from <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki//wiki/The_Sirens_of_Titan>The Sirens of Titan by <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki//wiki/Kurt_Vonnegut>Kurt Vonnegut. * Kep, the <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki//wiki/Collie>Collie, from <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki//wiki/Beatrix_Potter>Beatrix Potter's <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki//w/index.php?title=The_Tale_of_Jemima_Puddle-duck&action=edit>The Tale of Jemima Puddle-duck and other books * <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki//wiki/Krypto>Krypto, a white dog from the planet <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki//wiki/Krypton>Krypton who was shot to Earth in a test rocket by <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki//wiki/Jor-El>Jor-El and subsequently found by young <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki//wiki/Clark_Kent>Clark Kent, his original owner on Krypton. * <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki//wiki/Laddie>Laddie (a send-up of Lassie (qv)) who stars in Discworld alongside Gaspode * <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki//wiki/Lassie>Lassie, a <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki//wiki/Rough_Collie>collie, from the novel Lassie Come Home upon which the movie was very loosely based * Luath, the Labrador Retriever from <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki//wiki/The_Incredible_Journey>The Incredible Journey. * Nana, the <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki//wiki/Newfoundland_%28dog%29>Newfoundland dog in <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki//wiki/Peter_Pan>Peter Pan by <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki//wiki/J._M._Barrie>J.
