Art and Neil Young

Art and Neil Young Photo by Henry Diltz  A fun -- yet sad -- little story about Neil Young and his dog Art from Rhino Records - Fun Stuff - Henry Diltz Gallery (defunct):

Henry Diltz: Here is Neil Young with his dog Art. This was in Malibu in front of a beach house that Neil had there for a while. This was one of his favorite dogs and Neil had just put the sunglasses on him (in the sunglasses you can see Gary Burden and I standing there taking the picture). Unfortunately, shortly after this the dog was shot by a neighboring rancher for chasing his cattle, which is sort of the unwritten law -- that if a dog chases your livestock, you have the right to shoot it. So although Neil was very upset, he understood.

Speaking of dogs, who can ever forget "Old King"?
