Britain's most celebrated dogs - Paul McCartney bought his first pet, an Old English sheepdog puppy that he named Martha. She was born June 16, 1966 and had been the inspiration behind the song “Martha My Dear". Paul also had a Yorkshire terrier called Eddie. After having released "Martha My Dear" he may have felt sorry for Eddie, who didn't have a song of his own. To rectify this he composed "There You Are, Eddie," #Beatles #McCartney #musician #band #celebrity #dog #Martha #Eddie #british
