‘One of the last scenes we were filming was in a pound, a kennel,’ he told People. 

‘I foolishly walked in and I thought, “Are these actor dogs or are these real up for adoption dogs?” And sure enough they were, so I was walking up and down the aisles and saw this one dude and he didn’t belong there.’

‘I snagged him and he’s such a good dog. They aged him at about one, he acts like a puppy, he’s got the energy of a puppy, he’s just such a sweetheart, he’s such a good boy. He loves dogs, he loves kids, he’s full of love.’
