The legend dates back to when Alexander T. Thaddius was living in Knob Hill quarterback and he fell in love Jemima Stoonesbergson who was the MPJ head cheerleader. Long story short, Alexander's parents ended up stealing the Stoonesbergson's prize-winning basset hound because they didn't approve of MPJ's lax attitudes towards marijuana and Ecto-Cooler. (PS: KNOB HILL WE OWN YOU!)
