OK, we'll try this again. Hopefully this one will have better formatting. 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 Dogs in literature 2 Dogs in film 3 Dogs on the radio 4 Dogs in television 5 Dogs in advertising 6 Dogs in Animation and Puppetry 7 Dogs in song 8 Dogs in video games 9 Dogs in comics Here is a _very_ short sample from the Dogs in literature section: Jack from Little House on the Prairie series by Laura Ingalls Wilder. Jenny, the star of Maurice Sendak's Higglety-Pigglety Pop, or, There Must Be More To Life Jip, one of Doctor Doolittle's animal companions in the books by Hugh Lofting John Joiner, the terrier who rescued Tom Kitten from being made into a pudding by rats in Beatrix Potter's The Roly-Poly Pudding Kashtanka, the main character in Anton Chekhov's short story of the same name (full text) Kazak, the hound of space, from The Sirens of Titan by Kurt Vonnegut. Kep, the Collie, from Beatrix Potter's The Tale of Jemima Puddle-duck and other books Krypto, a white dog from the planet Krypton who was shot to Earth in a test rocket by Jor-El and subsequently found by young Clark Kent, his original owner on Krypton. Laddie (a send-up of Lassie (qv)) who stars in Discworld alongside Gaspode Lassie, a collie, from the novel Lassie Come Home upon which the movie was very loosely based Luath, the Labrador Retriever from The Incredible Journey. Nana, the Newfoundland dog in Peter Pan by J. M.
