The Dog background

The Dog

A man's desperate attempt to rob a Brooklyn bank was motivated by his unwavering love for his partner, who was seeking life-changing gender-reassignment surgery.

John Wojtowicz's unbridled libido in the 1960s led to multiple relationships, both heterosexual and homosexual. His desire to fund his lover's sex-reassignment surgery drove him to rob a Brooklyn bank in 1972, resulting in a 14-hour standoff that aired live on TV.
