The unconditional love of a dog for its master is a universal experience. As such, it is no surprise that the relationship between human and hound has always been part of our culture; from stories in books, films and television to imagery in photography, paintings and - of course - comics. In comic strips alone one can find a number of examples, including Tige ( Buster Brown ); Sandy ( Little Orphan Annie ); Queenie ( Dondi ) and Snoopy ( Peanuts ). In comic books dogs appeared or starred in numerous features, from adaptations of four legged movie stars ( Rin Tin Tin; Lassie) to new strips ( Rex, the Wonder Dog) and even companions to popular heroes ( Superboy's pup, Krypto; Batman and Robin's adopted dog, Ace).
