Born Keanu Reeve, he added the 's' on leaving drama school on the advice of his uncle, Christopher, who was instrumental in teaching him all his super powers. Christopher unfortunately lost all his wealth in the subsequent Krypton currency crash.

That small dog was of course the Dog(e) of Venice, became the richest canine on the planet overnight and built the world's most magnificent city with his coin.

 

[Mad Doug Biker]

That small dog also bribed the judges and won Crufts 4 years in a row, before the outrage became too much for everyone else to put up with, particularly the judges that had lost out on being bribed.
