The Museum of Death in California have on display a stuffed chihuahua which they believe to be one of Jayne Mansfield's pet dogs killed in the crash which took Jayne's life. The couple who run the museum actually seem like lovely people. They have a reality show coming out titled "Death Dealers". To learn more about the museum and the owners follow the below link'

Myself, being the huge Jayne Mansfield fan that I am, is skeptical about the stuffed pooch actually being Jayne's because of the information displayed alongside the little fella. The facts provided are all wrong. The accident had nothing what so ever to do with Alcohol consumption, it states that most of her head was cut off which is better than saying she was decapitated (which a lot of people still believe) but still highly unlikely that 'most of it' was cut off, it mentions her boyfriend as being the driver (when we all know that Ronnie Harrison was the driver, it does not mention Ronnie at all), it says that four of her dogs were also killed in the accident, however out of the four doggies in the car two died and two survived (at least this is what has been written in biographies) and lastly it says that all four of Jayne's dogs from the accident went to Anton Le Vey after Jayne's death because Jayne stipulated them to go to him in her will... JAYNE DID NOT HAVE A WILL.
So what I am getting at here is that I am fine with there being a museum of death, in fact I do have a morbid curiosity so I would probably visit it given the chance but what I am disappointed about is all the incorrect facts about Jayne being toted around. People who don't know all that much about Jayne will see that on exhibit and walk away thinking it to be the truth. It's no wonder that so much false facts surrounding Jayne and her death still circulate when to this day people mentioning her in a display such as this don't bother to do the simple and proper research.
I have heard about this and it always made me sad to think about it. As a dog lover myself I imagine Jayne would be horrified her dog would have been treated this way. You can only hope that as you say it's not her dog. You are right about the bad information too! People really should get their facts straight, it's not hard to do a bit of research after all x
