 his uncle, having married the sister  of Jackies mother. The director yelled out, "Wheres that dog? Just  go shoot him!" (The dog was Jackies own dog.) Somebody who got a  gun with a blank in it went behind the truck where the dog had been  taken and fired the gun. It worked, though a little too well. It  took Jackie a very long time to stop crying, even after the scene  was over and the director tried to kindly tell him they were just  fooling; they only did that to get Jackie to cry for the scene. In  addition, Jackie said he lost a lot of respect for his uncle that  day.
