Question 1 of 10
1. Flicking through the pile of DVDs that Kyle The Kennel Boy brought back for our delight at Splash's Rest Home For Pampered Pooches, we found one that IMDb summed up with the tag, "A detective must adopt the dog of a dead man to help him find the murderer". Which particular bit of silliness had Tom Hanks playing partner to a canine of the French persuasion? Hint


Question 2 of 10
2. Settling down for the night at Splash's Rest Home For Pampered Pooches, next on the screen was a DVD that had a cute little Mexican dog trying to find its way back from the land its ancestors came from, to its home in the zipcode 90210. Which 2008 movie had Kyle The Kennel Boy brought back for us? Hint


Question 3 of 10
3. It was a good job that we did not try to count all the characters in a particular DVD at Splash's Rest Home For Pampered Pooches, otherwise we might have fallen asleep before the good parts. Which movie with multiple of rather monochrome parts had Kyle The Kennel Boy put into the DVD player? Hint


Question 4 of 10
4. Another of the DVDs brought back to Splash's Rest Home for Pampered Pooches by Kyle the Kennel Boy had us singing along with the theme song:
"Scooby-Dooby-Doo, Where Are You?
We got some work to do now.
Scooby-Dooby-Doo, Where Are You?
We need some help from you now."
What breed of dog was Scooby supposed to be?
Hint


Question 5 of 10
5. Perhaps a little surprisingly, although adventures featuring Lassie were popular for decades in cinemas and on TV, here at Splash's Rest Home for Pampered Pooches the offering that Kyle the Kennel Boy brought back was not well received. Too sentimental and too weepie, we all agreed and fell to discussing Lassie trivia. For example, although Lassie was supposed to be a female, male dogs were used in the movies. ?


Question 6 of 10
6. The cover on one of the DVDs brought to Splash's Rest Home for Pampered Pooches by Kyle the Kennel Boy had nausea levels rising when we saw the movie tag "This Christmas, Heel The Love". What the Dickens? we thought, but which movie were we watching? Hint


Question 7 of 10
7. Here at Splash's Rest Home for Pampered Pooches we like a good love story, especially when it seems the odds are stacked against one of the star-crossed lovers. One of our all-time favorites, which Kyle The Kennel Boy found on DVD for us, was "Lady And The Tramp". That scene in which the two doggie lovers drew closer together over a meal never fails to make us laugh. What were they eating? Hint


Question 8 of 10
8. Laughter, they say, is the best medicine and it's a saying we all agree with here at Splash's Rest Home For Pampered Pooches. Doggie movies don't come much funnier than "Beethoven" and few dogs have bigger paws than the one that was the star here. Have a little brandy and tell me what is the breed in question? Hint


Question 9 of 10
9. Sometimes the residents here at Splash's Rest Home for Pampered Pooches get a little bored. OK they get lots of walkies, but sometimes they want to run free and even feel they are doing something productive. They were greatly excited by a picture that had a pack of hounds helping a hapless Florida dentist find his true self among among a wild and wonderful landscape. Which of these movies was it? Hint


Question 10 of 10
10. You can tell, here at Splash's Rest Home For Pampered Pooches, that the residents can be an aspirational lot. When Kyle The Kennel Boy returned from the DVD store with a stock of doggie pictures, the one they loved most was featuring one of the earliest great canine movie stars. His true story took him from the dangers of the Western Front to Hollywood stardom. Any dog can have his day, but which was this doggie hero? Hint

Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Flicking through the pile of DVDs that Kyle The Kennel Boy brought back for our delight at Splash's Rest Home For Pampered Pooches, we found one that IMDb summed up with the tag, "A detective must adopt the dog of a dead man to help him find the murderer". Which particular bit of silliness had Tom Hanks playing partner to a canine of the French persuasion?

Answer: Turner & Hooch

Hanks teamed up with a Dogue de Bordeaux in the 1989 comedy that had a neat and tidy detective partnered with a slob of a dog. The idea was that Hooch, the dog, was a witness to a murder that Hanks believed he could solve. While the critics hated the movie, it became one of the top 10 grossing doggie titles of its time.
2. Settling down for the night at Splash's Rest Home For Pampered Pooches, next on the screen was a DVD that had a cute little Mexican dog trying to find its way back from the land its ancestors came from, to its home in the zipcode 90210. Which 2008 movie had Kyle The Kennel Boy brought back for us?

Answer: Beverly Hills Chihuahua

Released in 2008, the movie told the story of a chihuahua that got lost while on holiday in Mexico and needed the help of some real-life stars such as Jamie Lee Curtis and Piper Perabo to get home. Drew Barrymore provided the voice of the dog.
3. It was a good job that we did not try to count all the characters in a particular DVD at Splash's Rest Home For Pampered Pooches, otherwise we might have fallen asleep before the good parts. Which movie with multiple of rather monochrome parts had Kyle The Kennel Boy put into the DVD player?

Answer: 101 Dalmatians

Dodie Smith created the "101 Dalmatians" in literary form in 1956 and the story got the movie treatment in 1961 and 1996, as well as in a number of sequels, a TV series and a stage musical. It's all about a pair of Dalmatians, Pongo and Missis ,who gave birth to 15 pups.

The pups and others were kidnapped or bought by Cruela De Vil, who wanted to skin them and turn them into coats. With the aid of an Old English Sheepdog, the Dalmatian parents set out to rescue the pups from Hell Hall. Does it have a happy ending? Would Walt Disney have got involved if it didn't?
4. Another of the DVDs brought back to Splash's Rest Home for Pampered Pooches by Kyle the Kennel Boy had us singing along with the theme song: "Scooby-Dooby-Doo, Where Are You? We got some work to do now. Scooby-Dooby-Doo, Where Are You? We need some help from you now." What breed of dog was Scooby supposed to be?

Answer: Great Dane

First in the animated TV series and then in two movies, Scooby Doo and his human friends entertained generations of children, and adults. At one time, the first Scooby Doo movie was the top grossing doggie picture of all time. The TV series first appeared in 1969 and the first movie in 2002.
When they were planning the episodes, Joe Ruby and Ken Spears, two of the writers with the Hanna Barbera studios, debated what type of dog Scooby Doo would be, and decided on a Great Dane to distinguish the character from the sheepdog that was in the rival show "The Archies".
5. Perhaps a little surprisingly, although adventures featuring Lassie were popular for decades in cinemas and on TV, here at Splash's Rest Home for Pampered Pooches the offering that Kyle the Kennel Boy brought back was not well received. Too sentimental and too weepie, we all agreed and fell to discussing Lassie trivia. For example, although Lassie was supposed to be a female, male dogs were used in the movies. ?

Answer: True

Lassie was a Rough Collie and the males were preferred by the movie makers because they were bigger and had shaggier coats than females. Lassie first appeared in a short story in a newspaper in 1938 and then in a novel in 1940. Dozens of movie, TV, radio and book adventures followed. The first movie was "Lassie Come Home" in 1943.
6. The cover on one of the DVDs brought to Splash's Rest Home for Pampered Pooches by Kyle the Kennel Boy had nausea levels rising when we saw the movie tag "This Christmas, Heel The Love". What the Dickens? we thought, but which movie were we watching?

Answer: Marley & Me

Released in 2008, "Marley & Me" was the story of a couple of journalists who relocated to Florida and and adopted a dog, which they named after the reggae star Bob Marley. The movie went on to trace the life story of the couple and Marley over the dog's lifetime.
7. Here at Splash's Rest Home for Pampered Pooches we like a good love story, especially when it seems the odds are stacked against one of the star-crossed lovers. One of our all-time favorites, which Kyle The Kennel Boy found on DVD for us, was "Lady And The Tramp". That scene in which the two doggie lovers drew closer together over a meal never fails to make us laugh. What were they eating?

Answer: Spaghetti

"Lady And The Tramp" was a 1955 Walt Disney production that showed how a genteel Cocker Spaniel brought up in a high class neighbourhood fell for a scruffy cross-breed from somewhere off the streets. The scene in question shows the two sharing a meal and, starting off at opposite ends of a strand of spaghetti, they nibble ever closer until they come nose to nose. Altogether now "ah, sweet".
8. Laughter, they say, is the best medicine and it's a saying we all agree with here at Splash's Rest Home For Pampered Pooches. Doggie movies don't come much funnier than "Beethoven" and few dogs have bigger paws than the one that was the star here. Have a little brandy and tell me what is the breed in question?

Answer: St. Bernard

The 1992 comedy told the tale of a stolen puppy that adopted a family with hilarious consequences and and plot about a cruel veterinarian.
St Bernards are from a breed of working dogs native to the Swiss Alps. Historically, they were used for hunting and guarding, but also came to be noted for their ability to locate those lost in the wintry mountains. They are often pictorially portrayed as carrying a small brandy barrel around their necks as sustenance to people they find. The breed took its name from a hospice on the St Bernard Pass between Italy and Switzerland.
9. Sometimes the residents here at Splash's Rest Home for Pampered Pooches get a little bored. OK they get lots of walkies, but sometimes they want to run free and even feel they are doing something productive. They were greatly excited by a picture that had a pack of hounds helping a hapless Florida dentist find his true self among among a wild and wonderful landscape. Which of these movies was it?

Answer: Snow Dogs

Released in 2002, the movie starred Cuba Gooding Jr as a Miami dentist who inherited a pack of seven Siberian Huskies and a border Collie. Leaving the sun-kissed beaches of Florida behind, he headed to the snows of Alaska and got involved in a sled race. He then learnt a lot about himself and his background with the help of the snow dogs.
10. You can tell, here at Splash's Rest Home For Pampered Pooches, that the residents can be an aspirational lot. When Kyle The Kennel Boy returned from the DVD store with a stock of doggie pictures, the one they loved most was featuring one of the earliest great canine movie stars. His true story took him from the dangers of the Western Front to Hollywood stardom. Any dog can have his day, but which was this doggie hero?

Answer: Rin Tin Tin

Rin Tin Tin was a German Shepherd pup rescued by an American soldier in 1918. He did not have a name, so the solider, Lee Duncan, called him after a puppet that was popular among French children. At the end of WW1, Duncan and Rin Tin Tin moved to Los Angeles where the dog learnt a lot of tricks.

His first movie role was in the silent movie "Where The North Begins", in which he played a wolf. Rin Tin Tin went on to star in many more movies and radio shows until his death in 1932. Other movies and TV series featuring dogs that were from a direct line from Rin Tin Tin followed
