The Littlest Hobo (1963-65, 1979-1985) is a Canadian television series that chronicled the journeys of an unnamed heroic German Shepherd who travelled from town to town, helping people in need. It is based on an American film of the same name released in 1958.In every episode, the dog (simply referred to by most fans as "the Hobo") befriends a person or family who is in need of help (due to various circumstances). The Hobo often performs dangerous feats to save the supporting characters from danger, and helps them solve their current problem. When his job is done at the end of every episode, the Hobo declines to be the pet of the people he has helped, and departs to continue his cross-country drifting.There have been two separate series made that bear the name The Littlest Hobo: the original (which ran in the 60's) and the more widely-known sequel series that aired on CTV in the 80's. The various dogs featured in both series were all credited as "London".The Littlest Hobo is considered to be a cultural landmark for Canadian television, and is still remembered fondly by many Canadians who watched the sequel series when it originally aired. To this day, it runs in syndication on Canadian television. | |

Generic Cop Badges | |
| The Littlest Hobo / int_41f3b3a2 | comment |
Generic Cop Badges: In "Rookie", a police dog training academy is shown; the officers are wearing uniforms with shoulder flashes that are almost identical to those of the Metropolitan Toronto Police. However, they are also wearing breast badges shaped like six-pointed stars and a different kind of cap badge. Toronto may not be the actual setting of the episode. note A blue newspaper box marked "Star" is seen in one street scene; in real life, such boxes were used to sell the Toronto Star. However, the name of a different town is seen on the sign at the K-9 Academy. | |

Identity Amnesia | |
| The Littlest Hobo / int_a2836be5 | comment |
Identity Amnesia: "Forget Me Not" involves an amnesiac woman stumbling into an empty amusement park before its opening day, unsure of who she is and why she's there. Later into the episode, just before Hobo saves her from falling off a mountain, its revealed that she's the owner of the newly-opened Canada's Wonderland, and she had somehow escaped the hospital during an amnesic episode where she was being treated after a car crash. | |
