Rin Tin Tin: The Life and the Legend

Just finished reading, for the Something to Read About: The S&S Book Club discussion/chat to be held later today. Our review on Goodreads.

By the 1950s, Rin Tin Tin was played by three dogs, who often traveled around the country making public appearances. In this undated photo, one Rin Tin Tin enjoys a luxury dinner in his Chicago hotel suite.

The orphaned German shepherd was found in the wreckage of a kennel during World War I. Writer Susan Orlean details how he became one of the biggest film stars of the silent era in Rin Tin Tin: The Life and Legend.

Lee Duncan, 67, holds a pair of Rin Tin Tin's descendants, Rin Tin Tin 5 and 6, in 1958.

Susan Orlean’s new book about one of cinema’s great dogs argues that Rin Tin Tin wasn’t just a dog doing tricks, but an actor who could emote and affect audiences.

The original Rin Tin Tin was born in 1918 and died in 1932.

Susan Orlean chronicles the life of the beloved four-legged movie star and the owner who adored him. Rin Tin Tin: The Life and the Legend is Orlean’s magnum opus, exploring unlikely survival, Hollywood friendship and the tribulations of American life in the early 20th century.
