JERRY LEE

Rando, the German shepherd who played Jim Belushi's canine partner Jerry Lee in 1989's K-9, was actually bred to be a police dog. Acquired in Germany by Mark Mooring, who headed the LAPD Canine Unit and served as a technical advisor on the film, the pooch retired to his home in Malibu. "He slept on the end of my son's bed every night," says Mooring.
