In the 1020s, Strongheart introduced America to the German Shepherd breed when he was selected to star in a movie. Interesting for dog and and movie lovers. Author's Note and Bibliography.

I had never heard of Strongheart so this was a pleasant surprise to read.
Before Rin Tin Tin, there was Etzel von Oeringen, a German Shepherd who was brave and strong and devoted. Strongheart, the canine celeb's screen name, tells this ruff-to-riches story. Author/illustrator Emily Arnold McCully weaves information on the early days of cinema into this tale of a dog.
Who could resist a book about silent film history and a dog? This briefly tells the story of Strongheart (that's his screen name, anyway), the first dog to star in his own film. A nice bedtime tale for kids, but I'm not sure this is one that's so riveting they'll want to read again and again. That said, I suspect not too many adults know about Strongheart so there will be something for everyone here!
