The Dog Who Stopped the War

Growing up my sisters and I were given very limited television viewing options. The list of 80's/90's television classics we have never experienced is tragic: Full house, Boy Meets World, Smurfs, Care Bears, 90210,  I could go on. Needless to say our choices were limited, National Geographic, Christian Animation, Family Matters and National Film Board of Canada Productions were pretty much all we were allowed. Parental approved, family favourites included: National Geographics Mating Rituals of African Elephants (a true education),  Adventures in Odyssey, and most memorable of all, The Dog Who Stopped the War.

Looking back The Dog Who Stopped the War and the "Tales for All" series were French-Canadian made-for-TV movies that were poorly dubbed in English and very low budget. I'm not sure what the attraction was, but looking back it was the essence of 80's Canadiana. The Dog Who Stopped the War will always remain a true canadian classic.

This sad but true history of our family has left one major scar in our family psyche, to this day we all have horrible taste in movies. It's a tragic flaw. Never watch a movie that Joyelle picks out, it is sure to have bad acting, no wardrobe guy and a disturbing plot line.
