“Lobo, wolfdog leader of a wolf pack, has a price on his head. One day suffering from a thorn in his paw, he is found by Dave Weston, a borax prospector and befriended. The animal returns love and loyalty. Later Lobo saves Dave from attacks of scheming villain William 'Borax' Horton, who has designs on Dave's claim. Once again the villain attacks the young prospector and leaves him for dead on the site of the claim. Lobo arrives and Dave sends him with a message to town for help. In the meantime a posse is hunting Lobo, but he manages to escape them and at the same time, decoy them to Dave. There, they learn that Lobo is man's best friend.”
“Once upon a time, Hollywood went to the dogs. Not all dogs -- just one in particular: Rin Tin Tin. The canine performer was so popular that he is often credited with saving the fledgling Warner Brothers Studio from bankruptcy. Hollywood publicists were not known for their modesty or accuracy. But if the legends are true, Rin Tin Tin, at the peak of his career, received 10,000 fan letters a week, was paid a weekly salary of $6,000, and had a personal chef. 'Rinty' supposedly dined on beef tenderloin while live musicians performed classical music softly in the background (as a digestive aid). He even had a popular radio program, 'The Wonder Dog'.''
“This may seem purely fantastic, but after viewing one of his prime films, one starts to actually believe in the legends, and one understands how a German Shepherd could become the number one box-office star in Hollywood. When Rin Tin Tin strikes his iconic stance atop a rocky ledge, it's hard not to be enthralled.”
