Did you know that Trigger played Olivia de Haviland's horse in "The Adventures of Robin Hood" before his cowboy days?

Did you know that Trigger has his own IMDB page?

I do not know how I have lived twenty-two years without possessing this information. Or, you know, however long IMDB has been around. And I'm only half-joking. I've never seen the stuffed Trigger, but I did see stuffed Misty and Stormy in Chincoteague. That was a sad little museum. Although we got a moment of excitement when one of Misty's cleverer descendents pulled the latch on his stall and started to barge out. I shoved him back in while Mom flipped out. Good times.

I wonder if Benji is on IMDB as well? Oh he is! Higgins the Dog! Sadly, Justins Keepin Time, who played Black Beauty in the 1994 version, is not. But Terry, the Cairn terrier who played Toto, has a page. My dad's always saying how I used to watch "The Wizard of Oz" so constantly (this is earlier than I can remember) that he started watching only one character per viewing, and thus he realized how well-trained that dog was. Does anyone know any good books about classic Hollywood? The brief bits in my American film text were so interesting.

...This is officially the weirdest and most time-wasting post I have ever made. Shutting up now.
