Jeanna Dennis recently asked for literary dog names for her new
puppy. Would you believe a Wikipedia article titled "List of
fictional dogs"!! When I stumbled upon it I thought right away of
the many display / bulletin board ideas you could use this list to develop.
The URL is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fictional_dogs
The list is divided into these sections:
* 1<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/#Dogs_in_literature> Dogs in literature
* <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/#Dogs_in_film>2 Dogs in film
* <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/#Dogs_on_the_radio>3 Dogs on the radio
* <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/#Dogs_in_television>4 Dogs in television
* <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/#Dogs_in_advertising>5 Dogs in advertising
* <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/#Dogs_in_Animation_and_Puppetry>6
Dogs in Animation and Puppetry
* <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/#Dogs_in_song>7 Dogs in song
* <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/#Dogs_in_video_games>8 Dogs in video games
* <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/#Dogs_in_comics>9 Dogs in comics
