It's John Jacob Astor IV and he says, “I'm looking for my damn dog” and "Madeleine asked me to look for the dog."
Madeleine was Astor's very young and pregnant second wife. Kitty was their Airdeale. There were at least 12 dogs aboard the Titanic; three survived. John and Kitty died. Madeleine survived and went on to give birth to their son, John Jacob Astor VI [sic].
John VI's elder half-brother, William Vincent Astor, called Vincent, who was 20 at the time of their father's death, inherited most of their father's fortune of about $85-100 million, becoming the richest man in America. John VI inherited a few million, but it was a pittance compared to his brother, who did not share their father's fortune and left his half brother nothing in his will.
