The Littlest Hobo The Littlest Hobo is a Canadian television series (French title: "Le Vagabond)" 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 was that of "an ownerless dog". All three productions revolved around a stray German Shepherd, the titular Hobo, who wanders from town to town, helping people in need. Although the concept (of a dog

In Eisenmann's book, "A Dog's Day in Court", one of the dogs used in the 1970s series was London's grandson, who was also known as London. A 2005 episode of the CTV sitcom "Corner Gas" entitled "The Littlest Yarbo" pays tribute to the series by having a character (Hank Yarbo) convinced that a stray dog visiting the town is Hobo, even though the dog is of a completely different breed.

Despite the attempts of the many people whom he helped to adopt him, he appeared to prefer to be on his own, and would head off by himself at the end of each episode.

In 1979 CTV revived the series. The "New Littlest Hobo" (as it was sometimes called), which ran for six seasons, was shot on videotape rather than film. It has since been syndicated in many countries including the U.S. and UK.

Eisenmann used his own training methods to work with his dogs which involved educating them to think and understand very specific directions, to recognize colors, and to understand English, German, and French. He promoted his education method by touring with his dogs to offer live demonstrations, appearing on TV and radio shows and by writing books.
