13 Pop Culture Pups That Steal Our Dog-Loving Hearts Every Time They're On-Screen

In This Article:

Today is International Dog Day and that means that it's time to appreciate all of the fictional pups we love. And there are a lot of them. After all, who doesn't love it when a dog pops up on their television screen?

Ghost from "Game of Thrones"

Giphy

Ghost might have been the runt of the litter, but everyone knows the runt always ends up being the cutest.

Chance and Shadow from "Homeward Bound"

Giphy

How can anyone not love those faces?

Also, Chance and Shadow are two of the most loyal pups you'll find. Do you know how far they traveled to get back to their humans? (If the answer is no, you have a movie to watch.)

Toto from "The Wizard of Oz"

Giphy

It's OK, Dorothy. We'd wander into a tornado looking for Toto, too.

Champion from "Parks and Recreation"

Giphy

Was there ever a more perfect dog for April and Andy than Champion? Plus, their choice to adoption pushes viewers to adopt dogs who need it — even if they are handicapped in some way.

Marley from "Marley and Me"

Giphy

You just can't have a list of pop culture pups without including Marley from "Marley and Me." And even though Marley was a menace, we adored him.

Comet from "Full House"

Giphy

Admit it. You were almost as happy as the Tanner kids themselves when they decided to keep Comet. And he really did make "Full House" 10 times as fun to watch.

Copper from "The Fox and the Hound"

Giphy

Copper might be a hound dog, but his loyalty to his friend Todd is the real reason that we love him. Don't pretend you didn't cry at the end of this movie.

Every single dalmation from "101 Dalmations"

Giphy

Why choose one pup you love, when you can have 101? At least, that was Roger and Anita's mentality, and we're sticking with it.

Slinky Dog from "Toy Story"

Giphy

True to typical dog fashion, Slinky Dog was Woody's most loyal friend. He was also the voice of reason throughout the "Toy Story" franchise, and most of us found ourselves rooting for him — even when the rest of the characters

Balto from "Balto"

Giphy

If "Balto" wasn't one of your favorite movies growing up, were you actually a dog lover?

Scooby from "Scooby Doo"

Giphy

If Scooby didn't have you doubled over with laughter, you clearly weren't watching the right "Scooby Doo."

Courage from "Courage the Cowardly Dog"

Giphy

Courage is terrified of everything, but we love him anyway (and we loved getting to witness his rare moments of bravery).

Charlie from "All Dogs Go To Heaven"

Giphy

Because as Whippet Angel put it, "Unlike people, dogs are naturally good and loyal and kind." And when it comes to Charlie, we couldn't agree more.

True friendship is incredibly rare, and to find a friend that will be there for you through all of life's curveballs is something quite unique. To add distance into the equation, maintaining a real, true friendship can be a struggle. There are good and bad parts that come with long distance friendship.

Friendship. It's defined as the state of being attached to another person by feelings of affection or personal regard, but what really is friendship? Is it that occasional hallway talk with that one person who always manages to cheer you up? Is it that relationship you have with someone where they can be gone for a long period of time, but when they come back, it's like they never left? Is it spending every waking hour with someone, and knowing every detail about their life? Is it the relationship that's filled with fighting, but filled with even more resolution? I've learned that it's all of these things, and every friendship is different. It's a beautifully dysfunctional mess that should always be cherished and never be taken for granted.
