This is just to clear up some references in the story. Jerry says Bomber Boyo was like Shergar, only a dog. Shergar was a champion thoroughbred racehorse that was kidnapped in 1983. Ransom negotiations broke down and the kidnappers said there was an accident & Shergar was dead. The IRA was suspected, but the kidnappers were never found. Later when Jerry asks George Morton "What happened to the dog." Morton jokingly replied, "Lord Lucan has him." Lord Lucan was a British peer who was suspected of murder, and in 1974 vanished without a trace.
