Oreo: Plain Black Dogs can be famous

Did you know that there are plenty of plain black dogs just like me who have been famous. Really. Here's just a few.

Fala, the beloved pet of President Franklin D. Roosevelt and his wife Eleanor, was a Scottish Terrier. Fala survived his master by seven years, yet was buried alongside him. A  statue of this plain black dog is prominently featured in Washington D.C.'s Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial, the only presidential pet so honored.

Toto, Dorothy's dog in the Wizard of Oz, was played by Terry the Cairn Terrier. Toto was referred to as a "he" in the MGM classic film, but Toto was really played by a "she" named Terry. Terry's trainer Carl Spitz earned a salary of $125.00 per week for appearing in the film. 

Harry Potter star Fang is a large boarhound and one of Hagrid's beloved pets. Fang drools a lot and enjoys licking Harry, Ron and Hermione. Fang is actually played by a series of four different Neopolitan Mastiffs, really big plain black dogs. 

So, you see, I could be famous one day. Or just famous for making someone a really great and loyal pet.
