What is Millie the dog famous for: she brought her owners almost a million dollars in income
It turns out that animals can receive literary royalties.
Perhaps the most striking example is the story of one representative of the English Springer Spaniel breed.
We are talking about a dog named Millie.
Its owner was the former President of the United States, George Bush Sr.
Millie's "Autobiography" became a bestseller and brought in almost a million dollars in revenue.
The Story of Millie the Dog
She was born in early 1985.
Four years later, its owner, George Bush Sr., became head of the White House.
Once, the politician even mentioned his pet during a public speech.
But the peak of Millie's fame came in 1990, when a book called Millie's Book was published.
The work was presented as an "autobiography" of the US President's dog.
The book, allegedly written by Millie, became a bestseller, selling almost half a million copies.
The income received was $900,000. This money was donated to charity.
And Millie was included in the Guinness Book of Records as the animal that received the largest literary fee.
The famous dog died in the summer of 1997. The cause of Millie's death was pneumonia.
Earlier we told you about a turtle that claims to be the oldest animal in the world in history.
