Tracked 1928
One of Rin Tin Tin’s many canine imitators, Ranger, starred in this silent Western melodrama as a sheep dog falsely accused of “sheepicide.” Outraged local sheep ranchers attempt to drown the dog, but he is saved by his owner, Jed Springer (Sam Nelson), and hidden away in a cave in the hills. Evidence later proves the dog to be innocent. Nelson was Ranger’s owner and trainer. Tracked was photographed by one of the best in the business, Robert De Grasse.
