Having grown up watching "The Adventures of Rin Tin Tin", I pitched a new Rin Tin Tin series back in 2007 which had a loose connection with the original characters. I had partnered with the current owner of the Rin Tin Tin blood line and created a logo for the series using a composite image of Rin Tin Tin IV. The series took place in present day, and was intended for the young kids demo, but with story lines that would resonate with parents. After I had pitched it to a couple of production companies, I received a Cease & Desist letter from Herbert Leonard threatening me with a lawsuit if I continued to pitch the series. I offered to partner with him on the new series but he rejected it. By the time Leonard died a few years later, my partnership with Rinty's owner had gone sour for reasons I had no control over. So, we never got to hear "Yo Rinty!" again.
