Question: What star of "Year of the Dog" was also in "Other People"?
Context: Dog Scouts of America is a non-profit organization started in 1995 to make dogs' lives better.  There are nearly 100 different badges that dogs can earn once they earn the title of Dog Scout.  The Dog Scout title testing includes sit, down, stay, come, heel and leave it, and the dog must be safe around people and other dogs.  The DSA Evaluator will also observe the interaction between the person and the dog and the person needs to complete a written test to show they understand reward-based training methods and responsible dog care.  The association has 38 troops in 22 states, with 682 households with members. A grief therapy dog (also known as an emotional support dog, companion dog, or comfort dog) is a form of animal-assisted therapy.  Dogs have been proven to be able to assist people in overcoming grief, which has led to a recent rise in the use of therapy dogs; although animal-assisted therapy theory has been around since World War II.  Grief therapy dogs can be found in locations such as funeral homes, hospitals, nursing homes, schools, and hospices, and may provide support in situations such as funeral services, counseling sessions, and disaster relief.  Popular breeds used as therapy dogs include the Portuguese Water Dog, Bernese Mountain Dog, St. Bernard, and Golden Retriever. Hot Dog Days are informal events that are celebrated in communities throughout the hotdog-eating world, including the United States, Canada, Great Britain and Australia.  Their origin is obscure.  As the name suggests, the festivals revolve around eating hot dogs, but usually there are many other activities such as wiener dog races, root beer chugging contests, and face painting.  Often the proceeds from a hot dog day are given to charity.  Industry groups, such as National Hot Dog and Sausage Council in the USA, encourage, sponsor, and support the events.  The Council designates July as National Hot Dog Month; National Hot Dog Day varies year to year – in 2017 it falls on Wednesday, July 19 – based on when the North American Meat Institute hosts its annual Hot Dog Lunch on Capitol Hill.  The council also gives advice on hot-dog eating etiquette, which aren't considered strict, as most Hot Dog Day style events do not adhere to them. Dog Tales is a 1958 Warner Brothers animated cartoon which consists of a series of blackout gags involving dogs (e.g., one in which a doberman pinscher viciously pinches an overweight U.S. Army private identified as "Doberman" (a reference to, and caricature of, the character played by Maurice Gosfield on "The Phil Silvers Show"); and another in which the narrator can't make up his mind whether the dog pictured is a pointer or a setter, and then finally shows a picture of a "point-setter").  A basset hound declares that she's a TV star (a reference to Cleo the Dog, from the contemporary TV sitcom "The People's Choice"), we learn the unusual breed of a Newfoundland puppy's grandfather, and a great dane named "Victor Barky" plays the piano.  Reused animation from Chuck Jones' "Often an Orphan" (1949) and Friz Freleng's "Piker's Peak" (1957) is also seen here.  In the former case, Charlie Dog makes a cameo - his final appearance in a Warner Bros. cartoon as well as his only cartoon to not be directed by Chuck Jones.  This animated film features the voices of Mel Blanc, Robert C. Bruce and Julie Bennett, and was directed by Robert McKimson and written by Tedd Pierce.  It was released in theaters on July 26, 1958. A hot dog cart is a specialized mobile food stand for preparing and selling street food, specifically hot dogs, to passersby.  In some jurisdictions, a cart operator must meet stringent health regulations designed to protect the public.  Hot dog carts are quick and easy food services, supplying millions of people with food every day.  The U.S. Hot Dog Council estimates that 15% of the approximately 10 billion hot dogs consumed by Americans last year were purchased from a mobile hot dog vendor cart. Ioanna-Maria Gertsou was born on January 20, 1979 in Athens Greece and she is visually impaired due to retinopathy of prematurity.  She is mostly known as representative of the guide dog movement, through "Lara Guide-Dog School Hellas" a non - profit organisation that she co-founded in 2008.  She is an activist, promoting human diversity, guide dog access, physical and electronic accessibility and animal rights.  She is also a scientist with superior studies in experimental psychology and cognitive science.  From 2006 to 2012, she worked as a researcher in the Human/computer Interaction Laboratory, located at the Foundation of Research and Technology Hellas (F.O.R.T.H.) which is considered to be a major scientific center worldwide.  In 2008, during a visit at F.O.R.T.H the President of the Hellenic Republic, Karolos Papoulias was moved by her presentation and did something extraordinary: he bowed and kissed her hand to show his respect.  Ioanna-Maria is one among the very few visually impaired / disabled researchers around the world and the only one, employed in Greece.  Additionally, she is considered to be a rare case of a person who is blind since birth to exhibit visual synaesthesia.  That is why, she is being asked to contribute to experiments, studies and projects regarding perception and the crossing of the senses.  Every year, she is invited and participates in numerous conferences, arising matters varying from psychological research to guide dogs and contemporary issues as youth unemployment., Her knoweledge in psychology is often shared on newspapers and blogs.  She was the first person to enter with her guide dog (and a dog in general), into the Hellenic Parliament and the European Parliament.  In 2009, she protested through the web because her guide dog was denied in two reustaurants.  She wrote a letter which went viral and caused great awareness.  Following this incident, one year later a Spanish tourist named Antonia Pons Losada was not permitted into the new Acropolis Museum with her guide dog.  As a result of local and international outcry regarding issues of guide dog access in Greece on August 2010, Ioanna contributed to the voting of the first national law, related to guide dogs.  As soon as the law was approved by the Hellenic Parliament, she took her guide dog "May" and a Television crew for a visit to the Acropolis Museum.  Today on the Museum's website we are informed that "guide and assistance dogs, are welcome".  According to the law 3868/2010, guide, assistance and therapy dogs are allowed practically everywhere in Greece.  The law was recently reviewed, including guide/assistance/therapy dogs who are still in training and claryfing that they can enter into transportation means, without a muzzle.  While transforming Greece into a role model for guide dog access, she joined the board of directors of the European Guide Dog Federation to defend the rights and access of guide dog teams, throughout the European Union.  In 2013 at the European Parliament, she and former MEP Jorgo Chatzimarkakis were the main rapporteurs for the voting of an E.U. direction, aiming to promote e-accessibility on governmental websites.  The direction was approved in 2014.  Ioanna-Maria, was two times a political candidate.  One in the 2009 Hellenic National Elections with the Ecogreens Party and one in the 2014 European Elections with the "Greek European Citizens Party".  She was a paracycling athlete.  Always accompanied by her two guide dogs "Lara" and "May", she had appeared on several documentaries, TV shows, movies and public events., The references are mainly in Greek. Molly Helen Shannon (born September 16, 1964) is an American comic actress who was a cast member on "Saturday Night Live" from 1995 to 2001.  In 2017 she won the Film Independent Spirit Award for Best Supporting Actress for her role in the film "Other People". Tail wagging by dogs is the behavior of the dog observed as its tail moves back and forth in the same plane.  It is considered a social signal.  Tail wagging by dogs can be described by its vigorous movement or even just the slightest movement of the tip of its tail.  Other dogs wag their tail in a circular motion, and even when the tail is between their legs or the dog is on its back.  The behavior of a dog can not always be an indication its friendliness.  When a dog wags its tail, most people interpret this as the dog expressing happiness and friendliness.  Though indeed tail wagging can express these positive emotions, tail wagging is also an indication of fear, insecurity, challenging of dominance, establishing social relationships or a warning that the dog may bite. The Iditarod Trail, also known historically as the Seward-to-Nome Trail, refers to a thousand-plus mile (1,600 km) historic and contemporary trail system in the US state of Alaska.  The trail began as a composite of trails established by Alaskan native peoples.  Its route crossed several mountain ranges and valleys and passed through numerous historical settlements en route to Nome.  The discovery of gold brought thousands of people over this route beginning in 1910.  Roadhouses for people and dog barns sprang up every 20 or so miles.  By 1918 World War I and the lack of 'gold fever' resulted in far less travel.  The trail might have been forgotten except for the 1925 diphtheria outbreak in Nome.  In one of the final great feats of dog sleds, twenty drivers and teams carried the life-saving serum 674 mi in 127 hours.  Today, the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race serves to commemorate the part the trail and its dog sleds played in the development of Alaska.
