From the Streets of Cyprus to the Silver Screen – Bobby The Rescue Dog

19th July
Here at Wild at Heart Foundation, we are here for the stories that demonstrate the incredible resilience and potential of rescue dogs.

Today we are highlighting Bobby’s story and his extraordinary journey from the streets of Cyprus to a star of the big screen. He is now a bonafide film star, having appeared in a blockbuster movie alongside Hollywood royalty.

 

Where His Journey Begins

Bobby’s story begins in Cyprus, where he was found wandering the streets, hungry and alone. He was a typical street dog, underweight and covered in scars – clues that he had been mistreated. Two years ago, he was rescued by a local charity, Rehoming Cyprus Dogs. Immediately spotting his potential, the charity contacted Julie Tottman, a Hollywood Animal Trainer. Julie has trained many animals for huge hits like the Harry Potter series, Mamma Mia and Casino Royale.

Bobby’s ability to learn and natural skill makes him so easy to work with. He picks up the acting and thrives doing it. The sheer gratitude of a rescue animal makes them perfect onscreen partners.

The Big Screen and Beyond

Bobby, despite not being a Dalmatian, won over Disney casting agents with his shaggy fur and adorable personality. He landed the lead role alongside Emma Stone in the movie “Cruella” as her character’s sidekick. It’s rumoured that Emma Stone was so fond of Bobby that she wrote him a thank-you letter for being such a loyal sidekick.

More recently, Bobby has appeared in the highly anticipated “House of the Dragon,” the prequel to the iconic series “Game of Thrones.” In one scene, Cheese, the twisted ratcatcher, is shown kicking poor little Bobby. Fans were upset by the treatment of Bobby, but the show’s actors reassured fans that he was treated like royalty on set and that the kick was purely acting.

A Symbol of Hope

Bobby’s journey from a stray dog to a celebrated film star is a testament to the potential rescue dogs everywhere. His story is a powerful reminder that every dog deserves a chance at a happy and fulfilling life. Here at Wild at Heart Foundation, we believe that every dog deserves a loving home and a chance at true happiness.
