Abstract
Dogs have played roles in movies for decades. Different breeds in different shows and these
dogs have always been portrayed differently. This paper analyzes the different breeds in
movies throughout different decades to examine if the way a movie portrays a breed
influences breed popularity in the United States. This paper examines 3 breeds: the Saint
Bernard Dog, the Doberman Dog and the Pitbull dog. Looking at movie portrayals,
interviews on how people view the breed and also AKC registration numbers. Movie
portrayals, not just dogs, have an influence on people. That is also why certain companies
market their product in movies and shows. It is concluded that dogs in movies influence
breed popularity in the United States, because popular culture influences people.
