The Encyclopedia of TV Pets is an entertaining and comprehensive journey into the lives of the world's most famous television animal stars.

More than 100 TV series are represented along with the biographies and true-life stories of such memorable animals as Lassie, Mr. Ed, Gentle Ben, Wishbone, Flipper, Trigger, Arnold the Pig, Murray, Morris, Silver, J. Fred Muggs, Spuds McKenzie, Nunzio, Clarence the Cross-eyed Lion and Judy the Chimp, Benji, Morty the Moose, Marcel the Monkey, Salem from Sabrina, Fred the Cockatoo, Flicka, Fury, Lancelot Link, Tramp, Comet, Skippy the Kangaroo, Rin Tin Tin, Cheetah, London, C.J. the Orangutan, Eddie from Frasier, and even the Taco Bell® Chihuahua!

The Encyclopedia of TV Pets is an amazing menagerie of facts and tales, many never before told to television fans. Owners, trainers, and the human actors who worked with the animals have told stories in exclusive interviews. What were the animals' real names? What were their favorite treats? Who trained them to do the incredible feats you see on TV? It's all here and more in The Encyclopedia of TV Pets, a book that animal lovers will keep handy alongside their remote control.

4.0 out of 5 stars A PET FAVE, OR WHO'S WHO IN THE ANIMAL KINGDOM, February 22, 2003

(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Encyclopedia Of Tv Pets A Complete History Of Television's Greatest Animal Stars (Paperback)
Doggone it! Call this one a howling (and oinking, meowing and neighing) success. Here,
in one compact book, is the history of the lives and career of TV's greatest stars --- the
furry (and usually) four-footed kind. The big stars are here --- Rin Tin Tin, Lassie, Clarence the Cross-Eyed Lion, Trigger, Mr. Ed and Arnold Ziffel --- as well as those you might have forgotten about --- Barkley, Spike the Seeing-Eye Dog, Sam the Chimp and Spooks. The journey takes place in alphabetical order, with concise histories of the shows, lots of nifty photos (including Jackie O visiting Elsa the lioness on the set of the ill-fated TV series "Born Free") and great insights into the lives of the non-human small-screen stars. (Who knew the seeing-eye dogs who guided criminal insurance investigator Mike Longstreet were played by three German Shepherds --- Blanco, Snow and Blizzard?) It's a jungle out there. Get ready to grin and bear it. That's "bear" as in "Gentle Ben."

5.0 out of 5 stars Best book on the subject!, December 26, 2004

This review is from: The Encyclopedia Of Tv Pets A Complete History Of Television's Greatest Animal Stars (Paperback)
I am partial to animal actors, and am more likely to enjoy a movie or TV show that features our furry friends in a positive light. The same goes for books! I found this to be an absolutely fascinating and informative read. I purchased it after writing my own book on animals in the *movies*, and I know the amount of exhaustive research involved... my hat's off to Ken Beck!
