The Story About Paul McCartney’s Dog Martha

In 1965 soon after buying his house on Cavendish Avenue, Paul McCartney bought his first pet, an Old English sheepdog puppy he named the dog Martha. She was born June 16, 1966.

"In 1997, McCartney revealed that Martha had been the inspiration behind the song “Martha My Dear” and that it was not a message of love to Jane Asher, who McCartney intended to marry in 1968 and who many listeners thought the song was actually about. It’s a communication of some sort of affection but in a slightly abstract way, McCartney said,

‘You silly girl, look what you’ve done,’ all that sort of stuff. These songs grow. Whereas it would appear to anybody else to be a song to a girl called Martha, it’s actually a dog, and our relationship was platonic, believe me.”

Martha died in 1981 at the age of 15 at McCartney’s farm house in Mull of Kintyre, Scotland. She is survived by her offspring, one of which was featured on McCartney’s 1993 album “Paul Is Live” album cover. Her name is Arrow.

Hem with his beloved Black Dog









This is what he wrote in his memoirs, when Black Dog was killed by Cuban soldiers (he was living in Cuba at the time)

“Poor old Black Dog. I miss him. In the early morning when I work, he’s not there on the kudu skin beside the typewriter; and in the afternoon when I swim, he’s not hunting lizards beside the pool; and in the evenings, when I sit in my chair to read, his chin isn’t resting on my foot. I miss Black Dog as much as I miss any friend I ever lost.”
