Gregory had several dogs but his favorite dog was Tonka who immediately became a member of the Bunton Family. Many of you may not remember his trained pet chicken CLUCK. When Gregory called Cluck it would come. You often found Cluck sitting on Gregory’s shoulder like a parrot and when Gregory asked for a kiss, Cluck would peck Gregory’s cheek.
