Keanu Reeves once said: Kind people often share a deep love for animals. Animals have a unique way of connecting with us, offering a kind of companionship that feels pure and unfiltered. Anyone who has ever formed a bond with an animal knows the magic they bring to our lives.

There is a quiet nobility in animals, a way of being that can teach us humility, patience, and empathy. They remind us to be kind, to offer love freely, and to appreciate the simple joys in life. Animals give without expecting anything in return, teaching us about loyalty, trust, and the beauty of unconditional love.

Through them, we become kinder, softer, and more compassionate, learning to care deeply for the world around us. In their presence, we find comfort, healing, and a reminder of our own capacity to love. It is a privilege to know and care for them, and they bring out the best in us simply by being who they are. 🐾🧡🐾🧡

Celebrating the life of Skippy (AKA Asta)!
Skippy (also known as Asta, 1931–1951) was a Wire Fox Terrier dog actor who appeared in dozens of movies during the 1930s. Skippy is best known for the role of the pet dog "Asta" in the 1934 detective comedy The Thin Man, starring William Powell and Myrna Loy, and for his role in the 1938 comedy Bringing Up Baby, starring Katharine Hepburn and Cary Grant. Due to the popularity of The Thin Man role, Skippy is sometimes credited as Asta in public and in other films.
Career
Skippy was trained by his owners Henry East and Gale Henry East, and also by Frank Weatherwax, and assistant trainers Rudd Weatherwax, and Frank Inn.
In 1936, Skippy and several other movie dogs were profiled in the book Dog Stars of Hollywood by Gertrude Orr. At the time Skippy was said to be four and a half years old, giving him a birth year of 1931–32. He was said to be one of the most intelligent of animal stars then working in pictures. In addition to verbal commands, he also worked to hand cues, essential for a dog performing in sound films. His training began when he was three months old, and he made his first professional film appearances at the age of one year, in 1932–33, as a bit player providing "atmosphere." In Orr's book Skippy was shown in a series of publicity shots with Wendy Barrie in It's a Small World, Mae Clarke in The Daring Young Man and Mary Carlisle in an unidentified film. He became a star overnight in The Thin Man (1934).
Skippy played Asta in the first three Thin Man films. Other terriers, trained by the Weatherwax family and by Frank Inn, took on the role in subsequent films of the series, and in the television show.
Skippy also made a hit as "Mr. Smith" in the 1937 film The Awful Truth, in which his character was the subject of a custody dispute between characters portrayed by Cary Grant and Irene Dunne. (In a gaffe, Cary Grant wrestles and plays with "Mr. Smith" but can be heard distinctly calling him "Skippy".)
In Bringing Up Baby (1938), Skippy played "George," the bone-hiding pup belonging to Katharine Hepburn's aunt. In Topper Takes a Trip (1938), he was "Mr. Atlas".
At a time when most canine actors in Hollywood films earned $3.50 a day, Skippy's weekly salary was $250.00.
