When Elvis Presley began relationships, he went all in on them. He would shower his girlfriends with gifts and trips around America, as well as numerous stays at his mansion, Graceland, in Memphis, Tennessee. Eventually, he settled down with his wife, Priscilla Presley, with whom he had a daughter, Lisa Marie Presley – who died last week on January 12, aged 54. All of these women received a special gift, however: A dog.
According to the Graceland website, Elvis was a passionate dog owner. As a result, he had a number of pups throughout his life, all of which lived at his enormous home across the years.
As a result, he wanted to share this love and passion with the women he was with at any time, as well as the women in his family.
Over the years he got quite close with his aunt, Delta, to whom he gifted a Pomeranian pup. He also gave his mother, Gladys Presley, a dog called Sweet Pea, to keep her company.
One of his first recorded girlfriends, Anita Wood, was also given a canine friend. Elvis gave her a Toy Poodle named Little Bit. Unfortunately, it didn’t help their relationship….
