![]() ![]() Only after reading Orlean’s book, did I learn that this photo was most likely of Rin Tin Tin IV from the 1950s television series The Adventures of Rin Tin Tin.ĭiscovering Rin Tin Tin’s World War I roots, learning my fascination started with Rin Tin Tin IV and finding out how the legend of Rinty continues into the 21st century were just a few of the surprises of Rin Tin Tin: The Life and The Legend. For me, it was an “autographed” black-and-white publicity photo of Rin Tin Tin left in a desk handed down from my older brother. In the book, Orlean writes about her grandfather’s Rin Tin Tin desk statue as a spark to her childhood fascination with America’s most heroic dog. It was on September 18, 1918, that Rin Tin Tin, his mother, and littermates were found by in the war-torn French countryside by American soldier Lee Duncan. And from now on, September 18 will always be Rin Tin Tin Day to me. Last week, I finished reading Susan Orlean’s Rin Tin Tin: The Life and The Legend. ![]()
