The trainer wanted a dog that resembled the scruffy mutt on the original book’s cover but needed several that looked alike so that production could continue smoothly, thus he decided on this rare purebred dog from France.It is this breed’s rustic mutt-like appearance that has prevented it from being rapidly popularized and exploited in the United States by the movie release, as has been the fate of some other breeds.
