And the cherry on the top: George Carlin had a Yorkie!!
Miles - Yorkshire terrier on the sitcom THE GEORGE CARLIN SHOW/FOX/1994-95. Miles was the family pet of George O'Grady (George Carlin), a opinionated New York City cabbie. The dog (won from Neal, a plastic surgeon in the first episode) was named after Miles Davis, the jazz musician. *
