There was no shortage of laughter during George Winterling's career. He loved to tease his colleagues and crack jokes in the studio. Everyone loved George — except maybe one.
Back in 1985, News4JAX heard about Brandy, a Pekinese-Chihuahua mix who lived in Lake City with her owners. Brandy attentively watched Channel 4 news each day, but whenever Winterling appeared on the television, Brandy reacted. She scampered up to the television and proceeded to growl and bark throughout George’s forecasts.
“Nobody else. I’ve tried to get her to get the other ones. She’ll perk her ears up and walk off. Just George,” said Brandy’s owner, Penny Luck. Former WJXT reporter Ted Brown went to the Luck home in Lake City to meet Brandy and see it for himself. Brandy had been reacting this way to George since she was six weeks old.Two and a half years later, George decided to visit Brandy to see if anything had changed. He suited up in protective gear for their first encounter, armed with treats. George brought his weather maps and delivered a special forecast for Lake City in the Luck living room.
