Dogs In Movies: Hondo

I have a lot of Westerns on DVD. I love the West and love the lore of the old west. I am in no way an expert on the history, but as time goes on, the more I learn the more interesting it all has become. So, along the way I came across the John Wayne movie, Hondo, considered one of the best movies of that genre. 

A small detail that I found interesting is the dog in the movie... LASSIE! Yep, the dog in the movie is Lassie. Lassie has a very interesting history (which I'll leave for you to research). He lived a long time. But, what I find most interesting is his behavior in the movie... his speed, his demeanor, size and such. A very interesting dog indeed! 

As in a lot of movies, someone kills the dog... and of course, that always means the end of that villain before the movie is over. As it should be! 

Get the movie, it is a good one.
