"I'm out to save all the Dennis Quaids of the world."Quaid, 66, recently started a pet podcast called "The Pet Show" with Jimmy Jellinek, and had to jump on Zoom to virtually meet the cat and prove to the Lynchburg Humane Society that they were serious: Quaid wanted Quaid."I was like there is no way this is real, like, someone is pranking us," Danielle Ulmer, Lynchburg Humane Society, Adoption Center Manager, told WSLS.
Dennis Quaid, luckiest black cat alive. Courtesy WSLS/Lynchburg Humane SocietyLife has been busy for Quaid lately: He got married in June by eloping to Santa Barbara, California , with Laura Savoie, 27, and participated in a virtual "Parent Trap" reunion for charity last month.Meanwhile, the news report indicated that Quaid (the cat) will be picked up over the weekend (by Jellinek) to begin his new celebrity life. The kitty joins Peaches, Quaid's miniature English Bulldog, who he reportedly carries around everywhere.
And as Quaid (the human) noted, this could be a great ploy for humane shelters everywhere. He noted, "Maybe they should start naming animals in shelters after different celebrities and see who bites!"
Make Yourself the Funnest Thing in the World for a Reliable Recall. When training your dog to “come here” make sure you’re giving out a lot of praise & treats. The goal is to make coming back to you the best decision they could have made, if not your dog is likely going to decide that whatever he was chasing/sniffing is more interesting.
Well, maybe not literally bites. But we know what he means!
