Did the King of Pop, Michael Jackson, own a dog? This question is a valid one considering his love for animals. Throughout his adult life, Michael Jackson was known for owning an unique collection of pets ranging from koalas to giraffes. And who could forget the most popular one: Bubbles. (Bubbles was a chimpanzee that he rescued from a cancer research clinic in Texas.) Pictures of the two together are widespread in written and virtual media. Yet - no photos of dogs. Well, surprisingly, there is evidence that Michael Jackson actually owned a menagerie of dogs.
It stands to reason why Michael Jackson didn't pose with his pet dogs or at least have one picture widely circulated. Possibly, the low-key nature of his relationship with a traditional, domesticated animal could have lot to do with his or the media's desire to keep the public wondering about his life. Either way, there is one dog that Michael allegedly owned that came to light - Spanky.
Spanky, a white and tan pit bull, is a pet dog of Michael Jackson's that was featured in a line of toys called Furry Friends. His image was duplicated in a stuffed animal. You can actually still purchase it on e-bay.
So, what does the fact that the King of Pop actually owned a dog say about him? It says that in some ways he was just " a regular guy." Maybe now that he is resting in peace more interesting - normal - tidbits will come out about him.
