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
