LA Times story on a live book tour and upcoming feature film role by the canine star of the eponymously named website mrwinkle.com:
The truth is, Mr. Winkle looks as if he were created by some delightfully demented designer for one of those ancient European firms that make uniquely lovable yet dignified stuffed toys. In fact, the most frequent question asked by the 35 million people who've visited Mr. Winkle's Web site (www.mrwinkle.com) in the last three years is, "Are you real?"
He is. And he is clearly one of a kind. One of what kind, even the experts are unable to say. Perhaps a bit of Pomeranian, a soupcon of poodle, a blend of two, three or 10 other miniature breeds, they believe. He is clearly a diverse dog of such mixed lineage that he stands — at under a foot tall — for no particular breed or class, which means he can stand for all of them.
