As David Chokachi says: ”any dog related issue is my issue.”
See what this gorgeous guy has to say about his awesome rescued dog Cami!
*****
We are thrilled to bring you the inaugural “5 Questions…” with a celebrity dog person with none other than David Chokachi, former Baywatch actor, currently seen on the hit VH1 show Confessions of a Teen Idol and a dog lover and board member of the venerable Best Friends Animal Sanctuary.
David and his wife Susan are proud owners of mixed breed Cami, pictured with him. Read below to learn more about this fantastic dog lover - this is definitely one man whose outer beauty seems to stem from his inner beauty.
NYLD: How did you come about rescuing your dog?
David Chokachi: Well we found Cami close to a road and it actually was just luck as my wife was seeing something moving, back then Cami was very young and well we took her in and fell in love with her.
NYLD: What are your dog Cami’s funniest quirks?
David Chokachi: Poke her in the tummy and you will hear it
NYLD: What do you find to be the best part of owning a rescued dog as opposed to buying a dog?
David Chokachi: A rescued dog is getting a second chance as it’s already been either left or given away, if you buy a dog you’re going in a comfort zone…which is lame.
NYLD: How did you get involved with the great Best Friends Animal Sanctuary?
David Chokachi: I think I’ve always had a connection with charities and obviously I love animals, one day at a red carpet campaign someone approached me and it sounded interesting.
NYLD: What would you say to someone about to buy a dog at a pet store to encourage them to go to a shelter or rescue group instead?
David Chokachi: It’s like kids, they all deserve a second chance….don’t give up on rescued dogs, they need a home too.
