So Long, Oscar
May 27, 2008 / Posted by: Michael K
One of the most famous dogs in London, Oscar the German Shepherd, passed away after a three-year battle with cancer. Oscar was dubbed the “Met Bar” dog, because he used to hang around exclusive celebrity joints. Oscar and his owner, Dennis Gill, sold “Big Issue,” a magazine sold by homeless vendors, outside bars and restaurants in London. Celebrities would buy the magazine and then pose for a picture with Oscar.
He posed with every from Dustin Hoffman to George Clooney to Carmen Electra. I think he even had an affair with Carmen. He broke her heart.
It comes in threes. Dick Martin, Sydney Pollack and now Oscar. Sadness.
