Adam Sandler has two more bulldogs apart from Meatball – Matzo Ball and Babu. Meatball was his first dog and made an appearance in his movie Little Nicky (2000). He was also present as the ring bearer at Sandler's wedding. Meatball passed away from a heart attack in 2004, which brought over 100 guests to his funeral at Sandler's house. Sandler also gave out t-shirts with Meatball's face on them. His second bulldog Matzo Ball was adopted in 2003 and passed away in 2008.
