I have started reading the book “Rin Tin Tin: The Life and the Legend” by Susan Orleans and while I have not finished the book, I definitely recommend it. It is very well-written and if you are here looking at this blog you of course will find the subject very interesting.
When I was a kid one of my favorite TV shows was the Adventures of Rin Tin Tin. Even more so than Lassie. I feel that I discovered my love for German Shepherds throught this show.
In January I heard a one hour radio interview with Susan Orlean and was raving about it to Lynda who then surprized me by getting the book for my birthday. I found it very interesting to learn the history of Rin Tin Tin from World War 1 to the present.

I’m with you, Jack. It was my favorite show too! In the first video there is a poster above the author. I have a lamp that looks like that.
Happy belated birthday Jack! Did you like the book? I am really enjoying it.
Julie,
I liked it very much. Lee Duncan is someone I would have liked to know. Susan Orlean was very thorough, she spent a lot of time and effort on her research.
I’m glad you are enjoying the book too.
Yo Rinty!
Jack
