Someone Will Know This

There used to be a performer with a "dog act" where the dog did nothing. He'd trained (or maybe doped) the dog to just sit there and do nothing while he delivered a monologue that started with making excuses for the dog. It then segued to talking about his wife and his mother-in-law and the usual stand-up topics, and every so often, he'd turn to the dog and say, "Not going to do anything, huh?" A very funny act.

I remember seeing the guy on Ed Sullivan's show and on Hollywood Palace and all the expected venues. I remember reading that he made less money doing the act than he earned suing others who ripped off his act. What I don't remember — and someone just asked me — is the guy's name. Can anyone out there supply it? I'm thinking Bob Something.
