Coming of age in the 1960's, John Wojtowicz' libido was unrestrained even by the libertine standards of the era, with multiple wives and lovers, both women and men. In August 1972, he attempted to rob a Brooklyn bank to finance his lover's sex-reassignment surgery, resulting in a fourteen-hour hostage situation that was broadcast live on television. Three years later, John was portrayed by Al Pacino as 'Sonny,' and his crime immortalized in one of the most iconic New York movies of all time, Dog Day Afternoon. The Film had a profound influence on Wojtowicz (who pronounced his name 'Woto-wits'), and when he emerged from a six-year prison sentence, he was known by his self-imposed nickname: 'The Dog.'
