About 17,500 clips with pets and animals, peaking in the 1960s. The family dog is in more home movies than almost any non-human, usually because it wouldn't hold still, which is exactly what made it worth filming.
Dogs mostly: in yards, on porches, riding in cars, working a crowd of kids. Cats, backyard wildlife, and the odd farm animal fill out the rest, along with a vein of safari and zoo footage from family trips. California leads, almost all on 8mm and 16mm.

Pet footage suits animal, family, and nostalgia campaigns, documentaries about companionship and time, and period scenes that need a real dog of the era in a real yard. The dog-and-kids shot is the reliable pull.
The 1950s and 60s pets are family dogs in black and white and early color. The 1960s peak brings them outdoors and into color. The 1970s get more candid, the camera closer and less fussed over.
