What do Sigmund Freud, Walt Disney, and Martha Stewart all have in common? Chow Chows, of course! Rumor has it, Disney’s dog Sunnee even inspired the Christmas puppy scene in Lady and the Tramp. Strangely enough, one of the sled dogs (Nikki) in the 1995 animated film Balto is also a Chow. When it comes to performing in live-action films, however, the much-admired Chow Chow gets short shrift.
