And now for another unsolved Whitey Bulger mystery: What’s the name of the third French poodle in this
photograph of Whitey from the early 1990s?
We know that Catherine Greig owned two standard black poodles
— Nikki and Gigi.
She even enrolled them in dog-obedience school; then when she
a
nd Whitey went on the lam in 1995, she left their “diploma” behind for the feds to find.
But there is no record of a third poodle, the one who makes it a “three-dog night,” as in the old Top 40 band, Three Dog Night
.
Nikki and Gigi came to a sad end — Catherine left them behind with her twin sister, Margaret McCusker. A few years later, when McCusker was sentenced to house arrest after pleading guilty to lying to a grand jury, she had the hounds put down.
Rhode Island Mafioso Robert DeLuca later wrote a poem about Whitey’s flight, titling it “Who’s Minding the Puppies?”
As for the band Three Dog Night, it seems that when Catherine left with Whitey, she ignored the wisdom of one of its first hits, penned by Randy Newman — “Mama Told Me Not to Come.”

RE: Steve from Montreal
DAM IT HOWIE!!!
Why will you not defend your own country, from this Moon-Bat from Quebec?
I work in an office were a group of us all listen to the same internet station.
As soon as it becomes clear you are going to give this foreign, north of the border moon bat, troll, an unchallenged forum to run down America, the shouts from the other offices start with, “Shut off Howie”, which means the fairer sex wants “easy listing, or Top40 disco”
