Who was the Littlest Hobo?

[KarlMarx]

I never heard of this. I had to Google it.

"revolved around a stray German Shepherd (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_Shepherd_Dog) who wanders from town to town, helping people in need."

It was a TV series in Canada that was similar to Lassie, except that the dog had no owner.

(You have to wonder then, how did the dog keep up with its shots?)

I loved that show .... and I always dreamed of being a hobo...and it inspired my two little brothers to hop on a freight train and they rode it from Bakersfield to Mojave. My mom was really pissed when she had to go pick them up. I, on the other hand, was in total awe that they would have the courage to do something like that.....until I grew up and realized they were just too young to know what they were doing.

They tell the story now of how petrified they were .... once the train started moving they couldn't get off....and the further it went and the longer they were on it the more trouble they knew they were in when mom found them. :laugh:
