Ask Al

Lizzi K of Chicago, IL asks: Hey Al, I was wondering whose dog that is on the cover of your new album? Is it a "dog model" or a stock photo/drawing or what?

Strangely enough, while the photographer was taking pictures of me in front of that 1967 Chevy Impala convertible, a young couple walked by with a pit bull. They said, "Hey, do you want to use our dog in the shot?" And we said, "Sure, why not?" I don't remember the owner's name, but the dog's name was Dough Boy. Anyway, we wound up liking that particular shot so much that it wound up as the cover image. The picture that I originally intended to be the cover is now on the back of the CD case. There are a lot of great pictures in the package - the DualDisc comes with a 24- page full-color booklet!

So it is fair to say that Doughboy is Weird Al's bitch?
