The canine star of Mon Oncle is Dackie, the Arpels' sausage-dog. His owner, Tati's friend Borrah Minevich, died suddenly shortly after filming began. Dackie went to another friend, Jean-Jacques Broïdo. A direct descendant of Dackie still live in the Broïdo household in Geneva.(1/3)

"Instead of returning the dogs to the SPA, he advertised in his usual newspaper, Le Figaro, asking for home for dogs that were soon to be film stars. Of course he got a massive response, & was able to provide all his hounds with a comfortable life thereafter."
