The Littlest Hobo

Uncommon card · No. 111677

The Littlest Hobo (French: Le Vagabond) is a Canadian television series based upon a 1958 American film of the same name directed by Charles R. Rondeau. The series first aired from 1963 to 1965 in syndication, and was revived for a popular second run on CTV, spanning six seasons, from October 11, 1979, to March 7, 1985. The concept of the show is an ownerless dog who travels. All three productions revolved around an extremely intelligent ownerless German Shepherd, the titular Hobo, who wanders from town to town, helping people in need. Despite the attempts of the many people whom he helped to adopt him, he heads off by himself at the end of each episode. The dog is often referred to by the names given by his temporary human companions within the context of an individual episode, but is ultimately known only as Hobo across the context of the series as a whole. His origins, motivation, and ultimate destination are never explained in any of the shows.
