Jon Edmonson of Crystal City said he’s only met one person who immediately recognized where he got the name for his pet Weimaraner, Sammy Davis Jr. Jr.
“It’s a reference to the book and movie ‘Everything is Illuminated,” said Edmonson, who brought Sammy Davis Jr. Jr. to the Leader Pet Expo, held May 7 at the Jefferson County Fairgrounds in Hillsboro. “The only big name in the movie is Elijah Wood. Only one person we’ve met actually knew the reference. It’s a wonderful movie.”
Edmonson said the fictional Sammy Davis Jr. Jr. is a female, whereas his dog is a male.
“He’s a good boy,” Edmonson said of his dog, who’s about 3 years old.
