One of the scenes from the movie Afther The Thin Man with Asta [real name: Skippy], a Wire-Haired Fox Terrier dog actor.

Asta, the dog actor in this film, died in 1951 at the age of 20.

Later on in the movie he pushes the lawnmower over the hole cause he finds that Scottie has gotten through again! Before he does that as the Scottie is running away they play Scottish music 😂 very talented dogs

@Alsterwasser As the great WC Fields once stated in a film..."There's a Ubangi in the fuel supply". Ahhh yesss.

I’m not sure if Asta was a common name for animals at the time but I rescued three kittens last year. I found them in my garage; the mother died. I named them Charlie, Bogie, and Asta. This movie is the greatest.

Got my puppy from a shelter ,her name was Maddie but I changed it to Asta.

[@tallpaul521]

One of Asta's finest scenes..look at the double take he does at 0:33. Great dog and actor..loved Skippy in the Thin Man films.

[@710MaryJane]

I loved watching The Thin Man, and my favorite character was ASTA!

[@bethbartlett5692]

Adore this dogs personality in the series of "Thin Man" Movies

[@FrankenRocky]

Why did Asta (Skippy) never got an OSCAR? ;-)) Rocky, (Wire-fox and great ASTA-Fan from Germany)

[@agenttheater5]

well he did get the highest salary of any film dog of the time?

[@9005067]

i really like Asta, who liked him

[@pauldimitras1408]

Asta is a parsons Russell terror I searched long and hard but found one..very expensive

[@astasmom]

Asta is a Wire Fox Terrier. I know cause I had one.

[@astasmom]

+paul divirtas NO! He is NOT a Jack Russell.

[@9005067]

a cute smart well trained dog

[@debthebob]

I love Asta, at least he didn't whine like Lassie always did.

[@jenniferwills9752]

Biden dogs reaction to playing in the white house for the first time in forever

[@Sshooter444]

This scene gets me every time

[@Riogi]

It gets me too. :).

[@jamie448]

Wonder what ever happened to the dog that played Asta how long did he live and were is he buried

[@axiomist4488]

He died in 1951 at age 20 .

[@scifi707]

I love that dog!!!

[@lauracook8231]

Love Asta!

[@itsaguinness]

Love the first thin man movie. That scene seemed racist though.

[@axiomist4488]

Perfectly acceptable in 1936. What would you do if you went away for some time and when you returned, your wife presented you with a black baby ? (unless you're black) !!!

[@derricklangford4725]

[@wmascolin]

Why'd they have to do my boy like that

[@9005067]

Howdy have you trained your dog liked Asta and is he as lovable as Asta I wonder if any of his family still around .You must be some proud of him

[@kellyplumb3100]

You can tell a Scotty from an ASTA
