ALAN ALDA - ALDA REGRETS STUFFED DOG

ALAN ALDA was staggered while mourning the death of his dad's dog - because the cheeky patriarch immediately had it stuffed and mounted as a constant reminder of their beloved pooch. The former MASH star insists seeing the mutt again was worse than trying to get over its death, particularly because his father had asked the taxidermist to arrange an ominous snarl on its face. He told the New York Daily News, "Losing the dog was bad, but getting him back was even worse."
