The Associated Press NEW YORK Feb. 6 - Adam Sandler's beloved English bulldog, Meatball, who served as a ring bearer at the comedian's wedding, has gone on to that big doghouse in the sky. Meatball died of a heart attack Jan. 27 at age 4, Us Weekly reported in its Feb 6 issue. The bulldog wore a yarmulke and a tuxedo to walk down the aisle at Sandler's June 2003 wedding to Jackie Titone. He's also featured in a short film on the "Eight Crazy Nights" DVD, and has his own photo and video section on Sandler's Web site. Meatball's father was Mr. Beefy, the talking pooch who co-starred in Sandler's 2000 comedy "Little Nicky." The 37-year-old comedian also has a bulldog puppy, Matzoball, who was a wedding gift from Titone. Sandler's publicist confirmed Thursday that Meatball had died, but no details were provided. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 7 Feb 2004 18:03:26 +1300 From: grutness@surf4nix.com (James Dignan) Subject: Re: Everybody Wang Chung tonight some good choices for reformed bands, Eb...
