"Charlie Chaplin Minus the Make-up"

Film Fun, January 1919

Bill was one of the dogs in Charlie's 1918 film, A Dog's Life. He remained a studio pet for many years.

The star of A Dog's Life, "Scraps" (real name: "Mut") stayed on as a pet as well and became very attached to Charlie. In April 1918, while Charlie was away on a Liberty Loan tour, the dog passed away, apparently from "a broken heart." He was buried on the studio grounds.
