Today's Dog "Beasley"

Beasley (1978-1992) was an acting dog who starred in the 1989 Tom Hanks movie Turner & Hooch as the dog Hooch. He was a rare Dogue de Bordeaux, though he is often misidentified as a bloodhound. Turner & Hooch is Beasley's only film credit.Beasley was owned and trained by Clint Rowe who makes a brief appearance in the film as an ASPC (American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) officer. In 1990, movie critic Gene Siskel joked that Beasley would probably take the Oscar due to Hanks' "wooden" appearance in Turner & Hooch. Beasley died in 1992.
