The DOG OF THE THIN MAN


I can't help but think of the dog Asta from the classic film The Thin Man when I look at this shot.



And who knew, Asta had an online fan site? According to the site, this breed of terrier became quite popular in the 1930s and '40s leading to an overpopulation. I can only wonder if this woman was influenced by the Thin Man series.

    Seems like I have a picture of my great-grandmother with a dog like that. Never occurred to me that it might have been Asta influenced!

    I always wanted a wire-haired fox terrier, but never got one. I love the look though.
