I just learned that Valentino had a dog. He was an Irish Wolfhound named Centaur Pendragon.

He had more than one! That's a great pic!

A pair of German Sheperds Marquis and Sheik, a doberman named Kabar, a Mastiff (whose name I forget), the wolfhound he got in 1926 (his brother Alberto chided him on the expensive purchase) and Mayor Rolph (of SF) gifted him with a beautiful black spaniel named Mission Rudy. Poor Mission Rudy was given to RV on what would be his last visit to SF in July 1926, he was returned to Mayor Rolph. Here he is in front of the Fairmont Hotel with Mission Rudy.

Wasn't one of the pics for the book with a dog? Or was it just the train that I am remembering?

I get dogs and trains confused all the time.

Or was it the dog train?

Oh yes, I've got several. I can't remember which ones I've sent you for fixing, but I am sure there is at least one with a dog in it (or a horse)

RV also had a Great Dane, 4 horses and his wife had numerous Pekenese, one named Chuckie (and she also had a lion cub named Zela when there were living in sin on Sunset Blvd.)

I thought you just xeroxed stuff... ;)

I don't recall a hotel called "Sin" on Sunset? Did they mind her having a lion cub in her room?

I heard a tag line on the news this morning.

Oprah is doing a special from "Inside the Valentino Empire".

It took me awhile to figure out she's talking about that other Valentino.

there's another valentino?

If it's Oprah, I'm guessing this one

THAT Valentino has Pugs - 6 of them.

I don't know much about people but I know what kind of dogs they have. :rolleyes:
