This is Billy Holiday - all dressed up - with her dog, "Mister". This is a different photo from the one to which I am referring but gives you an idea of the bond between the two.If I can get permission to use another photograph, I will, but for now, here is a link to a beautiful photo of a dog named "Mister" (possibly a Great Dane with a little Mastiff or Boxer), patiently waiting for his mistress, jazz singer, Billy Holiday, cooking him a steak.
The photo was taken by Herman Leonard back in 1949. Ms. Holiday was living in an apartment in Harlem. She is wearing an apron and using a cast iron skillet.
This is a very special dog that he would patiently wait at Ms. Holiday's side while she cooked for him.
Suffice it to say our "Buddy" would never be able to contain his enthusiasm while something was being cooked and can barely stand it while Hubby makes his dinner from cold items!
