It's hard to believe, but celebrities often do noble deeds in order to get publicity in the media. People who can afford to buy an animal of any, the most expensive breed, take four-legged animals at the shelter or straight from the street. In this collection there are Hollywood (and not only) stars who did the right thing and gave love, care, comfort and warmth to homeless animals. Many personalities will surprise you.

Chris once starred in a film that was filmed at a dog shelter. There he met his future pet Dodger. At first, the actor somehow did not realize the fact that he was not surrounded by trained dog-actors, but simply homeless animals. He fell in love with Dodger at first sight and decided to take him home. There is even a video on the Internet of the first meeting of the actor and his four-legged friend.

# 2 Ryan Reynolds

“I suddenly noticed how this huge and extremely dumb-looking retriever was looking straight at me … Looking straight into his eyes, I whispered:“Hey boy, let's get the hell out of here with you.” And suddenly he jumped up, as if he understood me. He jumped into my car, we left and since then we are best friends,”Reynolds said in an interview. Are you expecting more sophisticated rhetoric from Ryan?
