I'm not wedded to the idea of this article, but didn't think it should be in the biological article dog.

Certainly not sure about adding in fictional dogs, due to what happens at that other wiki with respect to the growth of lists at the expense of encyclopaedic knowledge.

Would appreciate opinions and suggestions. Better yet, go ahead and act.

this isn't history--folklore (or anthropology) or classics maybe. Argos was fictional of course. ...said Richard Jensen (talk) (Please sign your talk page posts by simply adding four tildes, ~~~~.)
I suggest it should inclusively be classics, history, and media, since we are dealing with dogs ranging from mythology (e.g., Cerebrus), to ones of historical fame (e.g., Balto), to ones in popular culture (e.g., Scooby Doo). As for who will approve? Ideally, editors from all three? Stephen Ewen 01:58, 9 June 2007 (CDT)
