When you have a body like The Rock, you initially think that he's a strong man who can never be hurt. But this ex-wrestler is a softie.
According to Entertainment Tonight, "Gossip Girl" actress Michelle Trachtenberg posted a tweet saying "This puppy named after @TheRock was tortured, abandoned! He needs our help for life saving surgery," then adding a GoFundMe project link.
Johnson took notice to the tweet and replied to Trachtenberg, "This is rough to read about. Poor lil' pup abandoned w/ a wire wrapped around his mouth. I'll help. Stay strong pup."
Johnson immediately donated $1,500 to the GoFundMe project page. The shelter who's taking care of the puppy set up a $5,000 goal for the puppy's surgery after finding out that the 4-month old puppy is suffering from a severe heart murmur. The shelter posted an update that reads, ""Knowing that 'The Rock' has got Dwayne the puppy's back, we are confident he will be a fighter and make it through this. Thank you all for your generous donations- thanks to you we have met our goal."
Trachtenberg also tweeted a gratitude message to Johnson. "Thank you so much for your support @TheRock We are going to save this little fighter's life!"
Last September, his dog Brutus passed away after accidentally eating a poisonous mushroom. Johnson posted on Instagram, "Another reminder we have to live and love as greatly as we can today, because tomorrow is never guaranteed. At approximately 11:15pm last night myself and @laurenhashianofficial had to make the painful decision to end Brutus' suffering by taking him off of life support and sending his soul to pup heaven. I held his lil' paw as he was finally at peace. As all puppies and dogs do, he ate a mushroom while playing outside with his brother Hobbs.
This mushroom happened to have a lethal toxicity and within hours it was rapidly destroying his liver and immune system to the point of no return. I encourage all of you out there to be mindful of mushrooms in your yards, parks or anywhere outside your dogs play. What looks innocent, can be deadly to your lil' family members. Thank you Dr. Deckelbaum and Dr. West and the incredibly caring nurses and staff at The Animal Medical Center At Cooper City. We'll always love you Brutus.. and you'll always be my lil' main man and rough housing Brute. #RIPBrutus #WishICouldHaveSavedYouOneMoreTime #TheresPickUpTrucksInHeavenYouCanPeeIn ."
Keep it up The Rock. You are a dog hero!
