EDITORIAL ILLUSTRATIONMeet Otis
Otis is a fictional Pug character from The Adventures of Milo and Otis, the family adventure film about a cat and a dog traveling through the countryside. Otis is not one identified canine actor: the role was performed by a group of Pug puppies.
A Pug on an Adventure
The film made Otis memorable through the contrast between a small companion dog and the scale of the journey around him. The character belongs to the film's story, while the individual animals who performed the role should not be collapsed into one supposedly identifiable dog.
A Careful Legacy
The movie has also been discussed in connection with animal-welfare concerns. Those concerns deserve careful treatment and should not be turned into a colorful claim that the fictional character itself was a real-life celebrity Pug.
