Amanda Seyfried didn't grow up with dogs. With her busy work schedule, she didn't think she could take care of a dog. In fact, she wasn't looking for a furry friend at all.
But then she met Finn. Today, the 34-year-old actress, who's known for films Mamma Mia, is a dog owner and a spokeswoman at the welfare organization Best Friends Animal Society.
"I can't imagine my life without him," Seyfried says of 6.5-year-old Australian shepherd Finn, who is allowed on her U.S. set. If for some reason he can't join Seyfried on location — like on a recent trip when she traveled from France to China, Seyfried requests from her dog sitter twice — daily videos of him.
Now with a new video for Best Friends Animal Society, she calls herself Finn's" stage mother."
Seyfried and Finn shot an '80s-themed video for the ＃ 9000StepsChallenge, which asks animal owners to walk 9,000 steps with their pets on the ninth day of the month to raise awareness to the fact that more than 9,000 dogs and cats are euthanized ( 安 乐 死 ) in shelters each day because there's not enough room.
As for the video shoot, in which Seyfried and Finn walked the 9,000 steps — it was more exhausting than a long walk. Seyfried was Finn's trainer on the shoot. She believes that instead of being Finn's cp-star, she'll go back to being BFFs.
