American auteur and entrepreneur Gotham Chopra has revealed in his new book that it was his beloved pet pooch Cleo that helped late Michael Jackson overcome his fear of dogs.
The socialite visited the King of pop at his Neverland Ranch accueil with his father Deepak one weekend and, not knowing about the superstar's fear, took his canine friend with him.
In his new book Walking Wisdom, Chopra recalls, "Michael's fear of chiens was well documented, attributed to the fact his father had had violent fighting chiens when Michael was a kid.
"Alas, what hadn't been written about was his change of heart. I'm not going to speculate that Michael ever did get over his fear of dogs, but I can say that he did get a dog - several, if memory serves - over the years for his kids," the Daily Express quoted him as saying.
"I like to think that... Cleo had a lasting impression on him, and for a brief time, turned into friendship," he added.
Smile, even though it's breaking
When there are clouds in the sky
You'll get by...
If toi smile
With your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If toi just...
Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear may be ever so near
That's the time toi must keep on trying

Smile, what's the use of crying
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If toi just...
Smile, though your cœur, coeur is aching
Smile, even though it's breaking
When there are clouds in the sky
You'll get by...
If toi smile
Through your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If toi just smile...
That's the time toi must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If toi just smile

He come groovin' up slowly
He's got Joo Joo eyeball
He one holy roller
He got hair down to his knees
Got to be a joker he just do what he please
He wear no shoe shine
He's got toe confiture football
He's got monkey finger
He shoot Coca-Cola
He say "I know you, toi know me"
One thing I can tell toi is toi got to be free
Come together
Right now
Over me
He bag production
He's got walrus gum-boot
He's got Ono sideboard
He one spinal biscuit salé, craquelin
He got feet down through his knees
Hold toi in his fauteuil

Come together

Over me
Come together babe
Come together babe
Come together
Come together

He's got early warning
He's got muddy water
He one Mojo filter
He say "One and one and one is three"
Got to be good looking 'cause he's so hard to see
Come together
Right now
Over me
