Josh Hutcherson has adopted a rescue Pit Bull

My daughter and granddaughter must think I need more eye candy on my blog because they said I should post this:

Josh Hutcherson, the 19-year-old star of  The Hunger Games, recently adopted an injured Pit Bull puppy named Driver.

Driver has had a rough start in life. He was dropped off as a stray and sat in the shelter in a lot of pain for 11 days with a broken leg that was about a month old. He also has two missing toes.

The 3-month-old pup had been pulled out of a Los Angeles Shelter by the rescue group, Hands, Paws, Hearts when a worker heard about someone who wanted to adopt a rescue Pit Bull.

Someone turned out to be Hutcherson who had been looking for a Pit Bull and he wanted a rescue pup.

The two met just before Driver went into surgery and they hit it off right away.

 

Cute couple!! Good role model!!

That is so wonderful! It's so great when celebs do something like this, with such great potential for reverberation among their fans. I anticipate pit bulls becoming more popular among the 11-15 year old girl demographic.

My girls are big into The Hunger Games and, because my sister adopted a pit bull pup, we're all into pit bulls. This post is a win win :-)

Most people, including many who work in animal rescue, are not all that great at knowing the looks of all the different dog breeds.
