Rin Tin Tin was a dog in an american western series - U.S. Cavalry against
the Indicans. The dog was always carrying messages past a gazillion
indians and bringing the rescuers back just in time.
If I remember it was in the 50's (and maybe the early 60's). Whichever it
was, I was still living with my parents, so it was about then.
