So Long, Oscar
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.
Wenn
I just read an interview with the owner - it melted my cynical heart. So touching!
I don't want to be a pain in the ass but the owner said he named him Oscar Schindler - isn't it Oskar Schindler, with a k?
RIP little buddy.
And here I was expecting to see a picture of Oscar and Phoebe Price..........ahhhh maybe in another life........RIP Oscar!

Thanks, Mopa. Makes me like Robbie a little more.
Condolences about your cousin. Mine died in 1982, also doing something he loved. May they both be in a better place.

OK, I have to rethink my opinion of Gwyneth Paltrow based on her picture with Oscar. He is recoiling from established douches like Revolta and Fred Durst, but is totally chill with Gwyn giving a psuedo-belly rub. She's also the only woman who actually got down to the dog's level to pet him, so I guess she can't be all bad.
Also? Oscar is one of the cutest Shepards I have ever seen.
German Shepherds have a special spot in my little, black heart. They're just so loyal and protective. I'll have an extra glass of wine tonight in Oscar's honor.
Poor baby. I hope he's happy up in doggy heaven.
But did you guys see the photo with John Travolta? Oscar looks like he's trying to get as far away from his tough. I don't blame him though, I wouldn't wanna catch nasty case of the Xenu.

Dogs truly are a good judge of character. Take for example that pic of him and that douche from Limp Dickband. Oscar looks pissed to be in his company. Then you see the pic of John Travolta? He's kinda happy to be in the pic, but he's standing far away, prob thinking "Better not get too close, they may sacrifice me to Xenu". Then, you see the pics with somewhat normal celebs he looks all happy, like in the George Clooney and Jerry Springer. And with Carmen he just looks sad.
RIP my furry friend
*making sad pitiful eyes* what a sweety puppy rest in piece oscar.

What does it say about me that I was more sad about this story than any other sad story today.
~~~~~~~~~O_*~~~~~~~~
happy trails Oscar, you gorgeous Shepherd.. :)
Is he the same Oscar who played Oscar the German Shephard on Curb Your Enthusiasm?
Carmen Electra probably gave him a fresh case of mange before he kicked the bucket, no doubt.

it should have been Herpes Hilton or Asshole Simpson, i'm sorry, but pets shouldn't die. I know it's normal, but, man.. R.I.P., Oscar. You'll be enjoying the company of my sweet lab Luke, who left us brokenhearted on 5/14...
@Mopa: i'm sorry for your cousin. And you come come play with my two min. doxies, Angus and Rex. Rex will bite you, tho. Heck, after two years he still bites me!

Who's the guy smooching Oscar?"
Robbie Williams
=================================
In loving memory of my cousin,"Big" John, who died in a plane crash on 5/17/08. You died doing something you loved.
Judging from the picture with Elizabeth Berkley, I think Oscar saw "Showgirls".
Oh sweetie, you are so cute. RIP.
Who's the guy smooching Oscar?
Dustin Hoffman looks like he wants to squash Oscar. He can't stand sharing the spotlight. I haven't been able to tolerate that midget ever since reading that Elmore Leonard based Martin Weir ("Get Shorty") on him.

RIP Oscar.
Not to seem unsympathetic, but Oscar's death seems worse than Dick Martin or Sydney Pollack's. RIP, sweet boy.

Have Fair Winds and Following Seas Oscar...rest in peace with Lassie.
I can't snark on a dog.
Poor little guy! RIP Oscar, Sidney, and Dick Martin! (since I didn't comment in those threads)
That is such a great photo of Oscar! My dog does the same thing...rests his head on window sills and things that height. Too cute. Aww, I want to see my black lab right now!
Cher looks like a fucking bitch in that photo. I don't like people who aren't dog people.
YOU are so sweet when it comes to animals!!! i love love love it. And just so you don't feel too "nice" you really are a rotten (hystarical)jerk when it comes to everything else.
The second thumbnail pic was taken right before Fred Durst taught him how to lick his own nuts.
***********************************************
My life is nothing but a convoluted drinking game.
Heartbreaking. :(
Rest in Peace, Oscar.

Welcome to White Oprah's School of Puppetry.
Por favor, mantenganse allejado de las puertas.
Listen MK, I've had enough sadness lately! My poor little Oscar had to be put to sleep when he was only 3 in 2005 because he became paralyzed beyond repair. He was a min. dachsund (I have another one too). He had been adopted before I adopted him and those people had some big dog that took my little Oscar in it's mouth and shook him around. The vet said he probably got damage done then that became progressively worse until, one day, his back legs stopped working. I am so paranoid now that it is going to happen to my other little doxie that I have doggie ramps and stairs leading up to every possible place in my house the dog might want to get to.
This Oscar looks like he had a colorful life. I think it's a little telling about celeb's (and people's) personalities when you see these pics. Looks like Dustin Hoffman and Cher are assholes, looks like everyone, including Oscar, wants to steer clear of Travolta. I hate to say it but Paltrow, Clooney and Springer seem nice. Poor Oscar seems scared of Durst and Elektra.
That first guy, I think he's a designer, looks like Oscar stuck his face in his zipper and pulled off his dick.
R.I.P. Oscar. Please, no more death this week.
=================================
In loving memory of my cousin,"Big" John, who died in a plane crash on 5/17/08. You died doing something you loved.
You can tell by the body language in these pics who the real dog lovers are.
Slow news day, huh?

Very sad, one good thing is it seems he had it pretty good. Nothing breaks my heart more than when animals are abandoned or mistreated *points to siggy* rescue a dog, save a life.

Hey, my grandparents have a German Shepard named Oscar!
And on a side note, he (Oscar) looks like he is trying to stay the hell away from John Travolta. Perhaps watched Battlefield Earth? Also, what's the deal with Cher & Dustin Hoffman looking so emotionless? Is is because they've had so much plastic surgery that they can't smile? And why is Dustin covering Oscar's eyes? It just looks a little wierd.
Aww, poor sweetie! What a handsome dog. I just want to hold him and kiss him and cuddle him forever! Rest in peace Mr. Cutieface Wagtail McDoggikins. :(
The picture of Oscar with the cheeseburger toy in his mouth is the cutest. thing. ever.

Oh no, I am in college for advertising. I am not training to be a vet. I know about feline AIDS because there was a report on it but besides caring for my dog...I really don't know much about animals.

I don't want to be a miserable person who smiles. I really want to be happy when I smile.
Caladonia,
I'm the same way. I think because a) being in animal rescue for over 10 years, i've seen the lowest of the low in "Humans" and b) animals never ask for anything other than love but most people are inherently evil....

Go Spurs!
Those eyes just slay me.
Sadness.

But then again, what do I know?
That dog looks happiest standing next to Jerry Springer. Maybe he helped find out if he was the father if his bitch's litter?
Poor baby to go out with cancer. :(
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Out. For. A. Walk. BITCH.
I hate hearing about animals dying/suffering/in pain, etc. When animals in movies get hurt or die, I cry like a baby but I never cry when human characters meet sudden doom. I got all teary-eyed just reaidng this story about Oscar.
R.I.P Oscar.

The look of intolerance on Oscar's face in the photo of him with Fred Durst is absolutely priceless. Even the dog thinks Fred sucks!
*******************************************************
Cross over children. All are welcome. All welcome. Go into the Light.
Looks like that puppy had some personality! Love the pic with Travolta where the dog is trying to create some personal distance...you can almost hear the dog saying...."ugh, don't fucking touch me" as the ear pulls away from travolta's touch.
guy in the sports jacket and cigar is hot.

Dogs can get cancer??? Jesus thats awful. Poor doggie. RIP.
**********************************************
You really didn't just ask that did you? How can you be unaware that dogs/cats/birds/goats/horses, etc can get cancer and their own specie specified version of HIV and AIDS>
I don't think college is working for you.

Rest in peace
buddy!

Ah, how sad.
Looks like Oscar led a great life.
He looks so happy in all of those pics.
Except that one where he had to pose with Jerry Springer.
Oscar probably regrets that one... I think that was the only time Oscar ever got fleas.
From Jerry, of course.

What a beautiful German Shepard. Poor thing. :(

Like LoLo, I fucking hate it when doggies die.

The only thing that helps pass the time away
Is knowing I'll be back at Echo Beach some day

he's so cute in those photos especially with the toys in his mouth!!
RIP OSCAR
I think Angels cry when doggies and kitties die.
