Labrador Retrievers have played a big part of pop culture, some dog have became icons in and of themselves. Just look at the list:
“Marley,” from “Marley and Me;”
“Brian Griffin,” the Labrador Retriever character from “Family Guy” voiced by Seth MacFarlane, the show’s creator;
“Randolph,” the erudite narrator of J.F. Englert’s mystery-comedy novel A Dog About Town;
“Madison”, the yellow Lab bitch who played Vincent (a male dog) in the TV series “Lost;”
“Krypto,” the a fictional Lab who appeared as Superman’s sidekick in comics, TV shows, movies, and even video games;
The Andrex Puppy featured primarily in UK television spots for the Andrex brand of toilet paper;
“Zeke the Wonder Dog,” mascot and frisbee fanatic for the Michigan State Spartans;
“Alien,” a black Lab who served as the team mascot for the Memphis Mad Dogs and would charge the field following each kickoff and retrieve the kicking tee;
“Digger,” Cecily King’s troublesome dog in Road to Avonlea;
“Labramon” from Digimon;
“Luath,” from The Incredible Journey;
The dog in “Far From Home: The Adventures of Yellow Dog” about a boy and his yellow Labrador Retriever lost in a forest
And the Lab from one of our personal favorite “hold your breath” moments in the movie, “Independence Day” when the family pet escapes incineration from a fireball in a tunnel.
Have we missed anyone?
How could you forget “Old Yeller”? Haven’t ever been able to watch it a second time.
How indeed, Mickey!
