Boots the Our Gang dog dies in retirement at Cedar Rapids
Boston terrier Boots George, famous for Mack Sennett Our Gang films, lives out quiet retirement at the Sommer home in Cedar Rapids. Once dognaped in California, Boots starred opposite child actors and later acted in dramatic pictures with Joan Bennett and Dick Powell. Boots remains skilled in tricks, now relies on hand signals, and memory of earlier film glory endures. Coon and foxhound trials occur near Greeley at 1 30 pm with admission adults pay, children free.
