Then we rescued those nearly forgotten from the kennels of history, including Wendy and Lucy, Sounder, and Megan Leavey. And some dog movies ain’t so classic, but people love ’em anyways, so we’re including those, and all the other good boys and girls of canine cinema for our guide to the 80 Best Dog Movies, ranked by Tomatometer!įirst, we’ve retrieved all the golden films of yesteryear, like Old Yeller, Lassie, and The Incredible Journey.
And some of those movies where the dog lives happily after ever, with a nice house and a bowl of kibble and a robust 401k, are also classics.

The deeper resonance of these stories derives from the author's use of the myth of the hero who survives by strength and courage, a powerful myth that still appeals to our collective unconscious.(Photo by Consolidated Pictures Group/courtesy Everett Collection) 67 Best Dog Movies, Ranked by Tomatometerĭogs: Man’s best friend, movie’s most endangered hero. Book cover of The Art of Racing in the Rain Lassie Come-Home. The brutal world of the Klondike miners and their dogs is brilliantly evoked and Jack London's rendering of the sentient life of Buck and White Fang as they confront their destiny is enthralling and convincing. 10 books like The Call of the Wild & White Fang The Art of Racing in the Rain. In contrast, 'White Fang' relates the tale of a wolf born and bred in the wild which is civilised by the master he comes to trust and love. The story records the "decivilisation" of Buck as he answers 'the call of the wild', an inherent memory of primeval origins to which he instinctively responds. Stolen from his pampered life on a Californian estate and shipped to the Klondike to work as a sledge dog, he triumphs over his circumstances and becomes the leader of a wolf pack.
Set in Alaska during the Klondike Gold Rush of the late 1890s, 'The Call of the Wild' is about Buck, the magnificent cross-bred offspring of a St Bernard and a Scottish Collie. 'The Call of the Wild' (1903) and 'White Fang'(1906) are world famous animal stories. With an Introduction and Notes by Lionel Kelly, University of Reading.
