The effect of vintage films on us today and why we still relate to them
Today is the day you pledge your love
To the one who makes your heart sing
A day when the very heavens above
Can bring about almost anything
And in our world of modernity
True love will always last
And so from here to eternity
Have yourselves a blast.

Just like in the movies

Movie star dogs have been around forever and boy were they class acts. Lassie could infiltrate enemy lines, lead a country doctor through raging floodwaters to the bedsides of the frail and the dying and find lost children in the depths of the forest. Lassie had many different owners including Liz Taylor.
Rin Tin Tin ( Rinny) for short could lead a whole platoon and rescue soldiers and civilians in danger as well as being a loyal companion to the infantry.
Rinny had a brave little boy, Rusty, to love and protect him. Together they shared many adventures, solved many mysteries and saved many lives.
My favourite by far,however, is Asta from ‘The Thin Man’ series. Asta was a crime fighter who helped his owners Charles and Nora solve many a murder mystery usually involving gangsters. 
Extremely cheeky and very clever at finding clues he could appear out of nowhere with new pieces of evidence clenched tightly between his teeth. His would toy with it a little before devulging any information.
Often he would be on the run with charles in hot pursuit leading him to the latest victim or to the perpetrator. Perhaps it is because he reminds me so much of my dog, Lester, that I love him best of all.
Love my dog.
Gabby.
This dog on the front cover of The Saturday Evening Post was a movie star. His name was Asta. Sounds like my name; ‘Lester’. Don’t you think that’s a great name? Anyway he was the star of ‘The Thin Man’ series.
I have always dreamed of being in the movies like Toto and Lassie and Rin Tin Tin and I think that this may just be my year. I’ve been practising new tricks and perfecting old ones like my famous sideways walk. I am of course obsessed with chasing balls and love catching frisbies while still air bound. I run pretty fast and jump pretty high. When chased by big dogs I like to use the zig zag technique to out smart them. In short I am cute, intelligent and stylish. 
See you at the movies.
