Tale of Wino

TESTIMONY in the trial over the late W.C. Fields' will disclosed that the bottle-loving comedian had a bottle-loving little dog named Wino whom Fields decided to reform and put in Alcoholics Anonymous. "The poor beast is sodden with wine," the comic was quoted. "I shall wean him on dry martinis, then I'll taper him off on beer. Eventually I'll make him a teetotaler." He died before he got around to it, though. Wino is still a sorry drunken beast.
