Jed was an animal actor. He was a Vancouver Island wolf-Alaskan Malamute hybrid. Despite having only a few roles, he made an impact within the film industry. He was trained by Clint Rowe, who was involved in the films that Jed was cast in and was also associated with the film Turner and Hooch. After filming Disney's sequel to White Fang, Jed permanently remained with Rowe in Acton, California, until his death in June 1995.
