Bill Wynne is on another Yorkie list. he will answer questions about Smokey. Also look for his book....."Yankee Doodle Dandy"....it is the story of Smokey during the war and her life of show biz after the war. Bill's daughter Marsha is also on the internet.....I have not seen her post in a long time....Marsha says the ONLY time she ever saw her Dad cry was when Smokey died. She has also told some tales of growing up with Smokey......Smokey was ruler of the house....a 4 pound giant! The war memorial to the dogs was taken down some years ago. I believe it was a Vietnam vet...along with Bill Wynne....who was instrumental in getting the memorial replaced in the national park....not far from where Smoky lived and where she was buried in the park near Cleveland. Bill Wynne also has a musem deciated to Smokey.
