I was allergic to dogs, so couldn't have my own, but I really enjoyed watching the show. It was such a thrill to meet the cast and get London's signature! <br /><br />Bo reminded me so much of London, Thorn, and Toro. Not so much from their physical appearance as the way they acted. When the movie was over, sure enough, there was Chuck Eisenmann listed in the credits alongside Bo, "the world's smartest dog."Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16272717074916181159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5686476804358206995.post-73889258348533506872016-08-13T23:54:11.072-07:002016-08-13T23:54:11.072-07:00My adopted dad had his dog training school based o...My adopted dad had his dog training school based on what he learned from Chuck, and had signed copies of "A Dog's Day in Court" and "The Better Dog" pamphlet, as well as many copies of the pamphlet that weren't signed. <br /><br />My health prevented me from being able to go home for Chuck's funeral, or Ron's.

I remember because I was in the 1st grade. I was walking by the set (in front of a house) and a black and white german shepherd smelled the sandwich I had in a paper bag and was taking it the couple of blocks to my aunt's house. The dog was following me and a man yelled London, and then he came up to me and started talking to me. Asked me where I was going etc., and the next thing I know I had invited him to our house for dinner. Or he got me to invite him LOL. Then he took my mom and I (dad was out of town on business) for ice cream in New Toronto and there we were in this big station wagon with 4 dogs and one of them even took a bite out of my vanilla cone. I'll never forget it. Chuck asked my parents if I could be in one of the episodes and I actually appeared in one in a school bus. Chuck then was finished filming and left but he did keep in touch with my mom. Dad wasn't happy about that. And mom told me years later that Chuck had wanted her to marry him and he'd take us both out to the west coast. Mom said she couldn't leave my dad, but I still have a photo album of all of the dogs, some of the pictures are signed by Chuck. And I still have a couple of the letters he sent us which prove what mom said. From what I can remember Chuck was a really great man and the dogs were all awesome.

Later he would jokingly tell my mom, the only male<br />of the litter was unfortunately a<br />"doughhead" (that would be difficult to educate) so he let<br />us keep him.
