and today we’re counting down our picks
for the top 10 live action movie dogs
ever chip Einstein watch ahead for this
list we’re taking a look at those canine
performances that tickled us scared the
crap out of us or left us teary-eyed
these barking hounds made their
cinematic marks and very memorable ways
and that’s without making a mess on the
carpet Oh get away from ghetto right
from her you commonplace barbarian
number 10 Sam I am Legend my name is
Robert Neville I’m a survivor living in
New York City lost your whole family has
they attempted to evacuate a city
ravaged by a deadly virus that’s okay at
least your dogs arrived in this last man
alive thriller Sam is the beloved family
dog who sticks by Will Smith’s side and
provides him with companionship and a
reason to stay alive listen I I want you
to stay here on this one okay because
you can still get infected and I can’t
so look if I’m not back by dark
just go so when she’s bitten by a pack
of infected dogs we could swear someone
was cutting onions in the theater
because our eyes kept doing this weird
watery thing Samantha look at me girl
hey you’re okay you’re okay
Samantha just gotta get you home gotta
get you take you home I take y’all
number nine Cujo it seems like
everything was deadly in the 80s and
dogs were clearly no exception after
being bitten by a rabid bat this once
lovable st. Bernard goes on a human
killing rampage God I don’t get a shit
yeah yes yeah sure you can blame it on
the rabies after he kills a couple of
those human folk and then holds a mother
and son hostage in their broken-down car
we actually find ourselves wondering
what Cujo dislikes more humans or pintos
Oh
number eight the beast also known as
Hercules the sandlot when an animal
lives in infamy among the neighborhood
pubescence you know there’s got to be a
good story behind it legend of the piece
goes Beckel although most of the kids
envision the beast to be a man-eating
canine assassin the infamous dog turns
out to be your everyday English Mastiff
who’s just protecting his master’s
property that doesn’t make him any less
intimidating of course but he’s hardly a
monster
oh and given that the kids were
trespassing he was actually just doing
his job
darn kids
number seven Benji
do you father Benji’s just destroy not
many stray dogs or as adorable as this
sweet little pooch but still no one’s
adopted Benji yet this doggy with a
heart of gold
watches over the neighborhood kids and
even uses his affable nature to help
solve a kidnapping you don’t think he
knows what he’s doing do you
no I’m not gonna get my chance to prove
me wrong we don’t know about you but a
cute mutt that can solve crime seems
pretty deserving of a good home or at
the very least a nice hambone
number six hooch Turner and hooch
think you can handle it oh you’re nuts
where are you going he just responds
poorly to thank her that’s all
speaking of crime-solving canines this
one is actually a murder witness it
seems odd to rely on a dog for something
like this because what’s to stop someone
from trying to make a case for other
animals to be witnesses I’m gonna
introduce you to my dog
nevertheless this sloppy slobbering mess
actually starts to grow on turner
they’re not so rough and on us oh how
can you not love a huge furball that
just wants to be your pal
even if he’s drooling all over your life
plus he can help you with the ladies got
Turner right yeah I was looking for my
dog if you seen him yeah I noticed you
know anything about fuses the electrical
fuses yeah yeah can you come in for two
minutes
just two minutes a fuse box come in sure
well guess what now this is happening
excuse me number five excuse me what are
you doing
Baxter anchorman The Legend of Ron
Burgundy that’s how I roll next huh he’s
tiny he speaks Spanish and he has a way
with both the human and the animal
kingdoms and how many dogs do you know
that can eat an entire wheel of cheese
you pooped in the refrigerator oh and
you ate a whole wheel of cheese how’d
you do that
huh sexually I’m not even mad that’s
amazing
while he may leave the leather-bound
books and yazz flute to Ron Burgundy
Baxter’s got his own impressive talents
that help him not only survive in the
wild but also save his human bros from a
bear attack
number four Beethoven
this dog is a multitasker and a problem
solver come to think of it he’d be a
perfect fit for a desk job
after sneaking into a suburban family’s
home as cute puppies are known to do
beethoven endears himself to them enough
to earn a spot in their household oh if
only it were that easy to find housing
in real life
a nefarious bet and a couple of
hooligans aren’t enough to keep this
hound down number three toto The Wizard
of Oz thank you my pretty and your
little dog too
as Dorothy’s companion through her
adventures in a magical land Toto was
certainly in for a wild ride the little
dog was probably trying to figure out
what the heck was going on most of the
time after feeding we’re not in Kansas
anymore and while the poor guy didn’t
get any magical slippers or
brand-spankin’-new brains at least he
got to run around a yellow brick road
and reveal the great oz is true identity
you are grateful patience
think yourselves lucky that I’m giving
you audience tomorrow instead of 20
years Oh
number two chance and shadow homeward
bound the incredible journey
you know shadows gonna have a ball at
Cates ranch aren’t you boy it’s gonna be
sunshine fresh air lots of room to run
there are dogs that love their owners
and then there are dogs that literally
risk life and limb to get back to them
no no we didn’t fight these guys
hey get out of here get it but as our
party crashers go steal some porridge
these two are of the latter category and
have such an enduring attachment to
their humans that being separated from
them for any period of time is enough to
prompt their incredible journey back
home I don’t care about gates I’m going
home thanks to the voiceover talents of
Don Ameche and Michael J Fox shadow and
chance really come to life and you can’t
help but root for their success

number one Old Yeller rough-and-ready
feller although his coat was Yeller
his bold Texas part was true blue this
reliable trustworthy and loyal family
pet was the perfect complement to the
hard worn lifestyle and country routine
of the Coates family listen I’m gonna
keep you so dang busted busy you won’t
have time to go off prowling
you can’t really ask for more than a dog
that’ll chase off a mama bear who’s
trying to defend her cubs

during a struggle to protect the humans
he loves what unfolds is one of the most
memorable and SATA scenes in movie
history
