Lightning was a German Shepherd from a line of canine silent film stars. A grandson of Strongheart, Lightning was billed as "The Wonder Dog"[1] and "The Marvel Dog". He began life as a runt but grew to be larger than average for the breed, and he was very intelligent.[2] Lightning appeared in numerous movies.[1][2]
