Even Hitler had a puppy. A look at some of the Best Friends of some of the world's Bad People.

Perhaps more than most, a criminal needs unconditional love. Some of the following people were linked to some brutal crimes--boiling the corpse of a live-in lover, for example, or feeding employees' remains to a pond of alligators. Others committed crimes of passion, or of neglect. But they all have another thing in common: a soft spot for the rest of the animal kingdom. Click for photographs of these evil masterminds, shown with their animal best friends.

    I don't know why they would show Lee Harvey Oswald's baby daughter with a pet. She certainly isn't a murderer. Keep the focus on her loser of a father and don't bring the children into it!

    Picture 5 of this series: This is not a miniature Doberman pinscher. Miniature Pinschers derive from the Reh pinscher and the Italian Greyhound

    picture number 12 of this series says Daniel Rakowitz is holding a pet rooster, on closer inspection I think you'll find that's no pet. The comb and waddles have been trimmed, indicating a game rooster, used for fighting. Since its New York I'd venture a guess and say Its got Phil Marsh Butcher in it, If I were a gambler I'd lay odds.
