Of course you know who Rin-Tin-Tin is, but did you know he was named after a French puppet because he was bred and rescued in France, not Germany? And, he is said to be “America’s First Rescue Dog.” Finally, he was awarded the American Humane Association’s first Legacy Award in 2011. He also has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
