Dog Drama, type of spectacular entertainment which probably had its origin in the performing dog troupes of the circuses. It became extremely popular in Europe in the 19th century, the immediate cause of the craze for dogs on stage in London being a little
after-piece at
Drury Lane in which a real dog, Carlos, rescued a child from a tank of real water—an echo of the equally fashionable
aquatic drama. The most famous dog drama was
Pixérécourt's Le Chien de Montargis; ou,
La Fôret de Bondy, first seen in Paris at the Théâtre de la
Gaîté in 1814, and in an English adaptation as
The Dog of Montargis; or,
The Forest of Bondy, by William Barrymore, at
Covent Garden in the same year.
