Vincentennial Post #9 - The Book of Joe

 I didn't think I could become more of a Price fan until now - how neat to know he was a dog lover too... of course he was. I HAVE to find a copy of this book now...
 
After his divorce from his first wife, actress Edith Barrett, Vincent Price spent a lonely time until Joe, a mixed-breed dog, entered his life.  Joe was with Vinnie for many years, and during his second marriage, to costume designer Mary Grant, when a succession of other dogs all had names beginning with "P", Joe was known for a time as "P-Joe"!  Vinnie wrote this book about the unforgettable Joe, one of his dearest and most unforgettable companions.
