FAMOUS BULLDOG OWNERS
Assembling a List of Tenders of the Best Breed Ever

I’m pulling together a list of famous bulldog owners.

Already I’ve been informed, or become been made aware, of the following: George Clooney, Danny Masterson, Natalie Maines, Mark McGrath, Ice T, Vincent Price, and Tennessee Williams.

If you have confirmable information about any other celebrities who own bulldogs, whether or not such dogs are ordained ministers, please let me know.

[Post-publication addendum (December 20): More celebrity bulldog owners, courtesy of reader T.G.: Adam Sandler (see his loving Tribute to Meatball and Matzoball), Doc Severinsen, Ed Asner, A.J. McLean, Toni Tennille and Daryl Dragon (a/k/a The Captain & Tennille), Calvin Coolidge, Truman Capote, and Jack Osbourne.]

[Post-publication addendum (December 24): And from reader S.M.B. comes the name Howard Stern, which I think I knew at some point in the past, maybe when I lived just a few blocks from Stern’s place in New York.]
