and on that same theme, Argos was the faithful dog of Odysseus who waited 20 years for his master's return from the Trojan War...and promptly died
Boatswain was Lord Byron's beloved Newfoundland
Blondi was owned by Adolf Hitler, and naturally was a German Shepherd
Checkers, Vicky and King Timahoe were Richard Nixon's Spaniel, Poodle and Irish Setter, respectively (I assume that counts as 1 question, not 3 for the "10 per day" rule?)
and finally, Nipper was the dog in the "His Master's Voice" picture, and was owned by Francis Barraud. (i think salocius was thinking of "Gnipper" who is Gnasher's son, owned by Dennis the Menace)

It gets easier once you realise that most of the dogs on the list are actually real dogs, and not fictional.


According to my answers you have 9 answers correct (I have a different answer for Turk).

Well done I'll transfer 90 Tokens to your account.

I have to add that your answers are really well done, the extra info makes it more intresting =D>

The last 2 remaining dogs were tricky, and required a bit of searching, but here goes...
Rambler was the hound dog owned by "Grizzly Adams" in the 1970s TV show of the same name
the only famous Bagel I could find is Barry Manilow's beagle. But whether there's a Bagel famous for something more than just being owned by Barry Manilow, I'm not sure. :?:
