John Travolta and his son adopted the puppy from the Oscars' Betty White tribute

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/john-travolta-adopted-puppy-from-oscars-betty-white-tribute/

Some good news regarding the Oscars.

"The Academy Awards paid tribute to the late actress and animal rights activist Betty White on Sunday by urging people to adopt pets from the nonprofit Paw Works. After Jamie Lee Curtis took the stage with a puppy to announce the initiative, a famous friend took part in a big way."

"Actor John Travolta and his son Ben adopted a dog. But not just any dog — they chose MacNCheese, the dog Curtis brought on stage."

"A MAGICAL ending to the story from last night," Curtis wrote on Instagram, sharing a photo of Travolta and and his son. "At the Oscars I reconnected with my friend, John Travolta. We starred together in the movie PERFECT back in 1984."

Curtis explained she had already left the Dolby Theatre when she got a text of a photo of Travolta with the dog in the green room before he presented the award for best actor. "I thought it was so beautiful to see him with her and then today I found out that he and his son, Ben have adopted beautiful little Mac & Cheese and are taking her home today," she wrote."

"The actress, 63, said it was "an emotional end and a perfect tribute to Betty White."

"Travolta and Paw Works also shared photos of the dog and its new family on Instagram."

but I think every puppy is adorable. I want to die by being smothered under a pile of wiggly puppies. That would be Heaven to me.

... died of breast cancer.



Preston did an outstanding job staring with Kevin Costner in "For Love of the Game."

Lost his oldest son, and now his wife of many years and the mother of his children. Hoping the new puppy brings happiness to him and his surviving children Ben and Ella.
