Abstract

Dogs have played roles in movies for decades. Different breeds in different shows and these dogs have always been portrayed differently.

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.
