The best thing Canada ever did

You know those little facts that are blatantly obvious, but don't really hit you until you actually think about them?

I've just realised that the dog who played The Littlest Hobo must have died years ago.

I'm sad now. :-(

. . .

There's a voice that keeps on calling me
Down the road is where I'll always be

Every stop I make, I'll make a new friend
Can't stay for long, just turn around and I'm gone again


. . .

I loved that dog.

*sob* :-(
Jane  What about William Shatner and Michael J Fox? 
Clair  Are you suggesting that William Shatner and Michael J Fox are hobos or dogs? 
Flat Out  one small post and I'm back in the 80s - on a wednesday afternoon - 25 minutes before swimming club sat infront of the tv with 'chopped up egg in a cup' for tea (it was the north east, we didn't have pesto)... I'm welling up

maybe tomorrow, I'll want to sette dow-ow-own; until tomorrow, I'll just keep movin' on...' 
Siobhan  Sorry to dissent, but I hated that dog. I wasn't a fan of the live-action animal-based stuff that used to be on, and lumped it in the same category as Gentle Ben et al. I would have prefered two episodes of G-Force, rather than the heart-string-tugging antics of a dishevelled canine tramp. 
Becky  And what, pray tell was wrong with Gentle Ben?? 
Flat Out  Hmm -

the heart-string-tugging antics of a dishevelled canine tramp

sounds like a description of some past boyfriends of mine - perhaps I developed my early emotional patterning from The Littlest Hobo, kinda like the children brought up by wolves. But gayer. 
Joggerblogger  What was wrong with Gentle Ben? Well for a start...

:-D 
Becky  Great jacket. :-) 
Jane  @ Clair - nah just two great things to come out of Canada, other than the Mounties.

I think I'm gonna have to agree with Siobhan, G-force was much better than the littlest Hobo and I've not the foggiest who Gentle Ben was.

But the greatest cartoon of the 80s had to be Dangermouse. 
Flat Out  It's good to note that the star of Gentle Ben has enjoyed a fruitful professional and personal life -

In his personal life: Clint plays a Level 70 Orc Hunter named Extas in World of Warcraft on the Dark Iron Server.

Although, given that I know little about WoW, this might be an amazing achievement akin to the invention of pyramidal tea bags or 'hair putty'...
