If you've ever rescued an animal or fostered then you know that the best part of all of that is hearing about the amazing life these animals went on to live, all because you helped them get that chance. You get these emaciated, broken animals, you show them love, and then BAM they go on to big and better things. It's not always that kind of happy storybook ending, but when it is it makes it all worth it.

Recently, a woman shared a story about how the dog she randomly rescued went on to end up living a life of luxury she would have never guessed. She found this scraggly pup in a mountain pass with another canine friend. The two were emaciated and covered in ticks, but she pulled over and spent hours working to get them in her truck. Eventually she did, but was not allowed to keep them in the hotel she was staying at, so she had to bring them to the local animal control shelter. There, she told them to keep her updated because she instantly loved these pups. One of the dogs got quickly adopted, but the other one, the one that needed a little bit more effort and training.

Luckily, the pup was moved to a rescue where he was adopted by a trainer who ended up taking him to Hollywood. The rescuer was able to get in contact with this trainer and found out that the dog was now named Seamus and he was going to star in a movie with Tom Hanks. So, if you've ever seen the end of the world film Finch made for AppleTV and are familiar with the dog in the movie named “Goodyear” that is this sweet pup.
