Some here may recall that Jean Hill's comment about a "little dog" in the back seat was not wrong, since Jacqueline Kennedy had been given a [Lamb] Chop puppet at Love Field and had it with her in the back seat. It resembled a little dog. Jean Hill was ridiculed unfairly for that. She made many misstatements, but that was not one of them.

You're incorrect on this, Joe. Nobody gave Jackie a "Lambchop puppet" at Love Field, and that fact is proven in the film clip linked below. In the video clip, Jackie is clearly handling a cluster of flowers and not any kind of toy or puppet just after she enters the limousine at Love Field:

VIDEO --- Jackie Kennedy Is Holding Flowers, Not "Lambchop"

Photographs taken at Love Field (like the one shown below) also tend to debunk the notion that there was a "Lambchop" toy.

Where on Earth did the "Lambchop" myth come from anyhow? Anybody know?

Jack White!

“The president smiled at lambchop…then died.”

No one smiles at lambchop and survives to tell the tale….no one…

Well, it's debatable, David, but it looks like the puppet in this image at Love Field.

I had an interview scheduled with Jean Hill, in which I would have asked

her many other things as well as this, but she abruptly canceled it without

explanation. I had met her in Dealey Plaza and chatted for a while, and

she seemed willing to talk. I wanted to confront her with her many changes

of story over the years. Probably she figured that would happen.

Looks like Lambchop to me

Quote Wiki : in 1957 Lamb Chop appeared with Shari Lewis on the television show Captain Kangaroo. During the 1960s, Shari Lewis had her own musical-comedy network television show, The Shari Lewis Show.

Lambchop was the best! The thing I did like about the Umbrella Man film is the obsessiveness of the main character, like Jim Garrison in JFK, this case can take you down rabbit holes and make you crazy if you let it. I started obsessing when I was about 10 and 40 years later, I am still. It can consume you, and I think the film did a good job of showing that. Too bad it couldn't make the mainstream, if I didn't read about this case I would have never heard of it.

Full screen, it looks to be flowers.  

The other photos appear to depict Lambchop.
