Robert Mitchum in the role of Raymond Chandler’s fictional private detective Philip Marlowe. Tiny hated him in that part too!

Diana holds Tiny, the canine cannon ball, during the little gaffer’s “Welcome to Canada” party.
Back in 2000, I was in Florida on business and ended up rescuing a little ragamuffin toy poodle puppy named Tiny. Because I was traveling on business, I flew there and back in uniform. This was before we transitioned to the [...]
