Did a great job in the movie Patton, Street car named desire, the Cincinnati kid and Nevada Smith, plus a whole bunch more I can't place the names too. Sorry to hear of his passing, but 97 ain't bad.

That's not bad. You had to know the guy sister. Yeah, that's why I had to edit my 1st response. Patton's Bull Terrier was not much of a "bull". From an army website General George S. Patton, Jr. was an animal lover with a particular attraction to bull terriers. He bought his first one, called Tank, just after World War I. During World War II, on 4 March 1944 at the height of Patton's fame, he purchased the famous white bull terrier named Willie, short for "William the Conqueror." For the rest of Patton's life, Willie and General Patton went everywhere together. Willie had his own set of "dog tags," and had quite a reputation with the "lady" dogs. Gen. Patton doted on the dog and even hosted a birthday party for him. Bill Mauldin Meets Patton Not everyone was charmed by Patton and Willie. When Sgt. Bill Maudlin, Stars and Stripes cartoonist, met Gen. Patton in March 1945, he described Willie this way: Beside him, lying in a big chair, was Willie, the bull terrier. If ever dog was suited to master this one was. Willie had his beloved boss's expression and lacked only the ribbons and stars. I stood in that door staring into the four meanest eyes I'd ever seen.
