Puppy loving wrestler pays out of own pocket for dog’s life saving surgery

If charitable actions are any kind of benchmark metric, then, the recent display of goodwill by ‘The Rock’ is trending high on the humanitarian scale.

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is known for his chiseled physique. But it is his ‘soft as butter’ soul that is winning him new fans.

The pro-wrestler turned action star has a soft spot for furry, four-legged friends. So it wasn’t too surprising to find out The Rock jumped to the rescue of a pup who was named after him.

The dog, named Dwayne, after Johnson, was found with its mouth wired shut and in poor physical shape. The dog was frail and utterly exhausted, but those were the least of the poor pooch’s problems.

The Los Angeles shelter that took him in discovered the pup has a heart murmur that will require a $4,500 surgery. A GoFundMe page was setup to cover costs for the surgery.

The Rock donated $1,500 towards Dwayne’s surgery, pushing the goal over the edge.

The account is still open for donations. Saving Spot! Rescue said that any extra funds leftover from Dwayne’s medical bills will be distributed among the 60 other dogs at the shelter, including a litter of five-week-old puppies.
