Top 10 Dog Movies
In honor of the latest hound flick to grace the holiday silver screen — Marley & Me, based on the bestselling memoir by John Grogan, opens Christmas Day — TIME takes a look back at film history's most memorable dog adventures
This 1860s-era drama starring a mutt and his two young masters takes a dark turn when Old Yeller is bitten by a rabid wolf, goes mad and starts foaming at the mouth. The tear jerker's defining moment happens when the main character, a boy named Travis, is forced to shoot Old Yeller to protect his family. Travis becomes a man, men in the audience become weeping boys, and Old Yeller is written into film history as the ultimate canine tragic ending.
