    Underdog
    RinTinTin
    Old Yeller

    It has to be Lassie. There have been a few other decent suggestions thrown out by people, of which Scooby Doo and Snoopy are probably the best, but Lassie is in a class apart. I know so many people who refer to Lassie's breed as a "Lassie dog", that dog is so iconic. Nobody even knows what the hell kind of dog Snoopy is meant to be!

    My favorite, and Japan's most famous real-life dog, is Hachiko. Here's his story: [taken from http://my.opera.com/yousof/blog/show.dml/1120128]

    The year was 1925. Every morning, Professor Ueno Eizaburo walked to Shibuya station accompanied by his loyal dog, Hachi, nicknamed Hachiko. Hachiko didn't accompany his master to his teaching job at the Imperial University (now known as Tokyo University), but when Professor Ueno returned every day at 3pm, the dog was always at the station waiting for him. However, on May 21 of that year, Ueno died of a stroke while at the university. Hachiko went to Shibuya as always to meet his master, but 3 o'clock came and went, and the professor didn't arrive. So Hachiko waited. And waited.

    The Akita must have known something was wrong, but nonetheless he returned to the station every day at 3 o'clock to meet the train. Soon people began to notice the loyal dog's trips made in vain to meet his master. Ueno's former gardener, the Shibuya stationmaster, and others began feeding Hachiko and giving him shelter. Word of his unaltered routine spread across the nation, and he was held up as a shining example of loyalty. People travelled to Shibuya simply to see Hachiko, feed him, and gently touch his head for luck.

    The months turned to years, and still Hachiko returned to Shibuya station daily at 3pm, even as arthritis and aging took their toll. Finally, on March 7, 1934 - nearly ten years after last seeing Professor Ueno - the 12-year-old Akita was found dead on the same spot outside the station where he had spent so many hours waiting for his master.

    Hachiko with neighborhood children.

    Hachiko's death made the front pages of major Japanese newspapers. A day of mourning was declared. Contributions poured in from all over the country to memorialize the dog that had won the hearts of the nation. Sculptor Ando Teru was hired, with the money that had been contributed, to create a bronze statue of Hachiko. In April 1934 it was placed on the exact spot where Hachiko had waited for so long.

    Within a few years, however, Japan was at war, and any available metal was melted down to make weapons. Not even Hachiko's statue was spared. After the war, in 1948, Ando's son Takeshi sculpted a new Hachiko - the statue that stands outside Shibuya station to this day.

    Lassie is the most popular I think, and I'll give an honorable mention to Toto.

    Will probably be Rin Tin Tin in a couple years, because I hear Spielberg is making a movie about him. But, my favorite will always be Cujo.

    I see many good answers here, all entertainment-related.
    As for a "real life" dog my vote goes to "Laika" which was the first living creature to orbit the earth.

    More about her here:

    The Littlest Hobo...."Travellin' around from town to town, sometimes I think I'll settle down, but I know I'd hunger to be free. Roamin's the only life for me...a driftin', the world is my friend. I'm travellin' along the road without end."
    My husband's little sister used to cry at the end of each episode.....
