Our first Ellen Barkin post! Ellen walked her dog in Tribeca, NY today - we were unsure of the dog’s name until we read about an incident she had with a photographer/paparazzi on the 4th of this month.

She told her dog, “Bite him, bite him Penny,” when the photog asked the dog’s name and then she asked, wasn’t there a better way the guy could make a living - to which he replied, “like marrying people?”

Whoops!

Well. Ahem. With that little diddy, we’re going to assume the name is indeed Penny.
