Kazan the Wonder Dog

Death: August 02, 1941

Kazan the Wonder Dog was a gifted German shepherd whose $250 a-day film career began in the early 1930s, not long after actor/stuntman Jack King paid an 85 cent fee and bailed him out of a city dog pound. Kazan would later come close to being put on the auction block after King was forced to declare bankruptcy. An agreement was eventually reached, with the help of a number of Hollywood personalities, which temporarily guaranteed King's creditors a certain percentage of Kazan's future earnings.
