It all started with this German shepherd called Rin Tin Tin. He was rescued by an American soldier back during the World War One. He went on to make more than 20 movies in Hollywood before dying in 1932. There were even three radio shows that aired after his death with him being the central character of those.

Flipper

It’s not about dogs and cats all the time. You have maybe heard about the movie Flipper, with the dolphin that had the same name. It’s funny that Flipper was a male character who was played by a female dolphin named Suzie. A couple of different dolphins were also cast as Flipper and they were all female because they are easier to deal with.
