Sadie and Maisie (Dog)
Henry Winkler has two dogs named Sadie and Maisie that are both Labradoodles. He got Sadie as a pup in 2018 and got Maisie sometime shortly after that.
Linus (Dog)
Henry Winkler had a Great Dane-Labrador mix named Linus. In 2009, his wife found what she thought was a Labrador puppy abandoned in a parade. They took the 4-month-old pup to a shelter, who said if no one claims him in a week, they can keep him. Linus grew to be a lot bigger than a regular lab and ended up being part Great Dane. Linus passed away in May 2019 at 10 years old.
Dervin (Dog)
Henry Winkler’s first dog was an Irish Setter he got as a child. When asked by Be Chewey if he’s always been a dog lover, he said, “I’ve always been a dog lover! I had an Irish Setter when I was 8. Her name was Dervin, and she was beautiful. My mother didn’t like dogs so she told me that Dervin went to a farm where she had more room to run. I got over that like last Thursday (laughs).”
