9 – “A ring around my neck? Nah, this is a collar.”

FACT: Elvis loved and indeed owned countless pets over his life. From birds, dogs and horses. But the strangest of all was his pet chimpanzee, Scatter!

8 – “I’m more chase the rock than Jail house.”

FACT: This post is more relevant than you might think. Because Elvis once sang on the Steve Allen Show in 1956 and he sang “Hound Dog,” singing to an actual Basset hound! Sadly the dog never howled once, meaning no comedy effect was added.
