Silver Spring, Maryland - Aspin Hill Pet Cemetery

Visited the Aspin Hill Pet Cemetery last week in Silver Spring, MD. I had not realized it's as big as it was. The earliest marker date I saw was about 1927. Some homes back up to the oldest tombstones. About 80% of the interred are dogs. Many have photoes or pictures on the markers. The graveyard is not well maintained in parts (meaning grasscutting & pruning of bushes). There are so many markers I just couldn't find Petey's from "Our Gang"! [Lori Sampson, 06/01/1997]

Silver Spring, Maryland - More Petey Business

I may not know where Petey is buried, but I CAN assure you that there were MANY Petey's used in the Our Gang comedies throughout the years. According to Leonard Maltin's The Little Rascal's - The Life and Times of Our Gang, there were "no fewer than 3, possibly up to a dozen Peteys throughout the years". In fact, quite often, there were multiple Peteys used in a single film. One Petey was good with close-ups, another who specialized in action shots, etc. So, in answer to your question... there are probably MANY Petey gravesites throughout the US!
