A 1923 silent movie starring the German Shepherd Rin Tin Tin

I heard it mentioned on a talk show and looked it up. It is called Where the North Begins

The cinematography is breathtaking of the wilderness and Rin Tin Tin performs amazing feats. How did his trainer train him so well. From Wiki: Warner Brothers decided to invest $100,000 in producing the screenplay as written by Rin Tin Tin's owner and trainer, Lee Duncan.

The last one was a Rin Tin Tin. There was a film historian who told about the dogs and their trainers. There was live music. The chase scenes with Rin Tin Tin (it was a Western) were thrilling!!!
