The Littlest Hobo is a Canadian television series, based upon a 1958 American film directed by Charles R. Rondeau. The show first aired from 1963 to 1965, and was then revived for a popular second run on CTV from 1979 to 1985. Following the 1958 film, the 1960s TV series was aired in syndication around the world, and is best remembered for a scene (later included in the closing credits of most episodes) showing the dog actually riding a parachute. This was before animal treatment regulations discouraged such activity in film productions. The German shepherd dogs featured in the 1960s series were owned and trained by Charles Chuck Eisenmann. The primary star was London, but several of Londons relatives, including Toro, Litlon, and Thorn, also played scenes as the Hobo. Eisenmann recounts many stories from the filming of the series in his 1968 book Stop! Sit! and Think. Selected episodes of the 1960s series have been released on DVD.
