This was the dog who played "Asta" in all the Thin Man movies, and fortunately they let him act....doggy, for lack of a better word - no overly-cute tricks that were obviously staged.

I have a WFT who is allegedly from Skippy’s bloodline. (Or so the AKC papers say.) Alas, he does not do tricks, obey commands and has never earned a dime. Nevertheless, we love him.
Obligatory photo.

I knew that was Asta, but I had no idea he was also the dog from Bringing Up Baby. What a career!

Awwe, idee! My WFT was the smartest dog and sweet as pie. I miss him still.
