"My Dog Rescued Me!" with Eric Roberts

"My Dog Rescued Me!" with Eric Roberts

Eric Roberts is so passionate about dogs, even while he is in the midst of literally doZens of movies in 2013,  and his carreer continues to soar he still makes time to help make a difference saving lives, one dog at a time!

"Practically everyone's on head meds these days, and I'm as worried and frustrated as the next guy."
"But there is great joy in life as well, and our dogs, cats, squirrels, raccoons, horses and birds have rescued me from seeing and living life in a melancholy way.
I have learned appreciation from the animal members of our family, and from animals I encounter in daily life.  They are my heroes." -Eric Roberts

These days Eric and Eliza live with a house full of rescued animals - three dogs, four cats, and two horses. “All of our babies are rescues.  Every one of them,” says Eric.  “We consider all our animals to be our kids.”
“Rescuing animals is the only way to go. The earth is a great big orphanage for most animals.  And I’m all for spaying and neutering.  There are already 2 billion people too many on this planet, and god knows how many animals there are that are overflowing.  It’s an instinct to breed so we have to help them not do it. There are animals that are bred to be sold, but all the other animals need love too.  They don’t have any papers and they don’t have any history, so people who don’t love animals for all the right reasons don’t gravitate towards them.  But if you love animals for all the right reasons- and that’s just love and affection- then you’re going to go after animals who need you.  That’s an animal without a home, or without papers, or without a breed. Those animals, some might say, that are less than perfect. "

Eric is our favorite animal advocate, who knows first hand how rescue dogs actually make a difference in our lives and actually rescue us!

Dear Chucky,

The Heroic act of Loyal and True:

Jerry Mathers at the Golden Globes Awards

At the Golden Globes Awards event I got to hang out with a super cool guy!  Jerry  Mathers AKA Beaver Cleaver!  He had an amazing story to tell us about how his dog rescued HIM! Im quoting his story below...its so touching and cool.
"I had always wanted a dog like Rin Tin Tin and my parents did find a German Shepherd from his bloodline when I was around 6 years old.  He was a wonderful animal and we named him Ron Ton Ton.  He was very devoted to our family.  About 4 years after we got him the forced air heater in our house caught fire and no one woke up.  Ron Ton Ton slept by the front door and he ran through the flames in the hallway and woke up my father.  We all got outside safely and the fire department said that if the dog had not awakened my dad when he did, we probably all would have died from smoke inhalation.  We were grateful for the heroic act of our wonderful companion and enjoyed many more years with our furry friend!"
Jerry Mathers

It goes to say, a dog is Loyal and True.  Give him a home, a warm bed and some food and he is dedicated to you for life.

-Gerald Patrick "Jerry" Mathers is an American television, film, and stage actor. Mathers is best known for his role in the television sitcom series Leave It to Beaver (1957–1963), in which he played Theodore "Beaver" Cleaver, the younger son of archetypal suburban couple June and Ward Cleaver (played by Barbara Billingsley and Hugh Beaumont), and the brother of Wally Cleaver (played by Tony Dow).
