What are your favorite dog movies?

We have a new puppy-sized gallery of our favorite kid-friendly movies starring dogs. So far, there’s just a few films on the list, including such canine classics as My Dog Skip and Beethoven. (We’ve also thrown a bone to grown-ups by including Best in Show.) Still, this list ought to be St. Bernard-sized, which is why we need your recommendations of the very best dog movies. We know some of you will want to show your love for Lassie (in Lassie Come Home, pictured), Balto, Benji, and even poor Old Yeller. Bark out your choices — and your reasons why — in the comments section below.
