Sponsored by Shredded Wheat and Milk-Bone for The National Biscuit Company, the series featured Rin Tin Tin's adventures with the 101st Cavalry in the same manner as the concurrent TV show, The Adventures of Rin Tin Tin.## Findings
The radio show also starred Lee Aaker (1943–2021) as Rusty, James Brown (1920–1992) asLieutenant Ripley "Rip" Masters, and Joe Sawyer (1906–1982) as Sergeant Biff O'Hara. == Television ==The Adventures of Rin Tin Tin, an ABC television series, ran from October 1954 to May 1959.## Discussion (List)- Duncan's Rin Tin Tin IV was nominally the lead dog, but nearly all of the screen work was performed by a dog named Flame Jr., nicknamed J.R., owned by trainer Frank Barnes.- Other dogs that sometimes played TV's Rin Tin Tin included Barnes's dog Blaze and Duncan's dog Hey You from the Rin Tin Tin bloodline.- Hey You had suffered an eye injury during his youth; he was used as a stunt dog and for fight scenes.- TV's Rin Tin Tin was far lighter in color than the original sable-colored dog of silent film.- == Legacy ==Lee Duncan died on September 20, 1960, without ever having trademarked the name "Rin Tin Tin".## AnalysisThe tradition continued in Texas with Jannettia Brodsgaard Propps, who had purchased several direct descendant dogs from Duncan. Her granddaughter, Daphne Hereford,
continued the lineage and the legacy of Rin Tin Tin following her grandmother's death on December 17, 1988. Hereford passed the tradition to her daughter, Dorothy Yanchak, in July2011. The current Rin Tin Tin is twelfth in line from the original silent film star and makes personal appearances across the country to promote responsible pet ownership.## BackgroundRin Tin Tin was the recipient of the 2011 American Humane Association Legacy award, accepted by a twelfth-generation Rin Tin Tin legacy dog in October 2011 at the first annual Hero Dog Awards in Beverly Hills. Mickey Rooney narrated a memorial tribute film about Rin Tin Tin. The next year, Rin Tin Tin was honored by the Academy of Arts and Sciences in a special program, Hollywood Dogs: From Rin Tin Tin to Uggie, on June 6, 2012, at the Samuel Goldwyn Theatre. The career of contemporary film dog Uggie (2002–2015) was compared to Rin Tin Tin's silent-era career. == Cultural references ==In 1976, a film loosely based on Rin Tin Tin's debut was produced: Won Ton Ton, the Dog Who Saved Hollywood.## Conclusion (List)- Producer David V. Picker offered a fee to Herbert B. Leonard, but Leonard objected to the premise of a film ridiculing the famous dog.- Leonard sued the filmmakers for infringement on the Rin Tin Tin legacy and lost.- Originally co-produced by Leonard, the 1988–93 Canadian TV series Katts and Dog featured the adventures of a police officer and his canine partner.- The series was titled Rin Tin Tin: K9 Cop for its American showings; in France it was
presented as Rintintin Junior.## FindingsLeonard was funded by the Christian Broadcasting Network, whose founder, televangelist Pat Robertson, had been enthusiastic for the idea. Leonard was criticized by his fellow producers for staying with his new wife in Los Angeles rather than helping with the show on location in Canada. Partway through the first season, Robertson said that some of his viewers were deeply concerned that the plot involved a widowed mother who was living unmarried in the same house with the brother of her late husband. Robertson recommended the mother character be killed off to stop the complaints, but Leonard protested such a change. After Leonard quit the show, the problematic character was killed off.## Discussion (List)- Though separated from the show, Leonard continued to receive a fee for the screen rights to Rin Tin Tin.- In 2007, a children's film was produced—Finding Rin Tin Tin—based on the story of Lee Duncan finding Rin Tin Tin on a battlefield in France and making a star of him in Hollywood.- The film was the subject of a lawsuit brought in October 2008 by Daphne Hereford, who asked a federal court in Houston, Texas, to protect her rights to the Rin Tin Tin trademark.- The judge ruled in favor of the filmmakers, declaring the use of the name in the film to be fair use.- A fictionalized account of Lee Duncan finding and raising Rin Tin Tin is a major part of the
novel Sunnyside by Glen David Gold.## Analysis (List)- Rin Tin Tin has been featured as a character in many works of fiction, including a children's book in which Rin Tin Tin and the other animal characters are able to talk to one another but are unable to talk to humans.- Rin Tin Tin finds mention in Anne Frank's diary in her second entry on June 14, 1942.- Frank wishes she had a dog like Rin Tin Tin.References / Works Cited:1.
