Famous dogs including Lassie and the animated pooch Gromit were inducted into the world's first canine Walk of Fame last week in London.
Other top hounds included Fang from the Harry Potter films and Toto from The Wizard of Oz. But Tintin's sidekick Snowy failed to make the cut.
"Dogs play a very important role in our lives," said Caroline Kisko of the Kennel Club. "It is fantastic to see that this is felt the world over."
The winners, who also included Bobby from Greyfriars Bobby: The True Story of a Dog, Bullseye from Oliver! and Chance and Shadow from the Homeward Bound films, were chosen online by the general public.
Those left out in the Top Dog stakes also included Pongo and Perdita from 101 Dalmatians, Hooch from Turner and Hooch and the four-legged stars of Lady and the Tramp.(AFP)
靈犬「萊西」和電影《酷狗寶貝》裡的「阿高」，上週正式成為首批在倫敦名犬星光大道中留名的狗狗。
其他榜上有名的狗狗還有：《哈利波特》中海格的野豬獵犬「牙牙」，及《綠野仙蹤》裡桃樂絲的小狗「托托」。但是丁丁的忠犬「白雪」則成了這次的遺珠之憾。
「狗在我們的生活中扮演了相當重要的角色，」寵物協會的卡洛琳．齊絲可說：「知道全世界對此都有同感，讓人感到非常開心。」
這次入榜的狗狗也包括了真實故事改編成的《忠狗巴比傳》中的「巴比」、歌舞片《孤雛淚》中的「牛眼」，還有《貓狗也瘋狂》系列電影中的「機會」和「影子」，牠們皆是民眾網路票選出來的。
這次名犬星光大道的遺珠之憾還包括：《101真狗》裡的彭哥和白佩蒂、《福將與福星》中的沙皮狗霍克，和《小姐與流氓》中的兩隻四腳明星。
