Bingo was a real dog who lived in the 1920s and 1930s. He was a black Labrador Retriever and was owned by Forrest and Virginia Cox.
Bingo was famous for his good looks, and he often appeared in publicity photos and advertisements. He was also well-known for his trick of standing on his hind legs and wagging his tail.
Although Bingo was a popular dog, some people believed that he was actually a fraud. This opinion stemmed from the fact that Bingo never actually performed any special tricks.
Some people also claimed that he couldn’t walk on two legs very well, which is why he always stood on his hind legs.
Despite these criticisms, Bingo remained a popular dog and continued to appear in ads and publicity photos until the 1940s. He died in 1948 at the age of 10 years old.
It is possible that he may have been killed due to fan mail that had been sent to him after his appearances in advertisements had ended.
