Growing up with famous parents comes with many perks, but sometimes the best thing any parent can do, regardless of celebrity, is offer a bit of help.
In a recent episode of the What In The Winkler?! podcast, Henry Winkler joined two of his kids, Zoe and Max Winkler, for a chat full of sibling antics, a dad hilariously trying to wrangle his adult children, and family stories like the time Max and Zoe locked Henry out of the car during a ski trip, causing him to stand on the side of the road for more than an hour.
During their lengthy conversation, Max detailed what he called the best gift his famous dad ever gave him, and it’s not what you may expect. Rather than any monetary gift or extravagant present, the Flower director explained how his father taking care of his dog Hamlet when Max’s daughter was younger was "the greatest gift anyone has ever given me" even when Henry himself was admittedly "not a fan" of the "insane" canine and Zoe bemoaned how the dog seemingly liked to bite people.
"The greatest gift you ever gave me was taking care of that dog for three years of my daughter’s life," Max said. "And the greatest gift that dog ever gave me, besides eternal friendship and love, was never going after my daughter. And he knew, he was a saint."
What In The Winkler?! is hosted by Stacey Weitzman and Zoe Winkler, wife and daughter, respectively, of the Happy Days star. According to the podcast description:
