John Wojtowicz took pride in being a pervert. Coming of age in the 1960s, his libido was excessive even by standards of the era, with multiple wives and lovers. In August 1972, he attempted to rob a bank to finance his lover's sex-reassignment surgery. This resulted in a hostage situation that was broadcast on TV. Three years later Al Pacino portrayed his crime in Dog Day Afternoon, which had a profound influence on Wojtowicz. When he emerged from prison, he was known as “The Dog.”
