TEXT 1: RESCUE DOG TO BECOME DISNEY STAR

1 In a real-life case of becoming famous overnight, a dog abandoned at a kill shelter has been chosen by Disney to play Tramp

2 in the live-action remake of the animated classic Lady and the Tramp. All thanks to Hollywood, Monte, an adorable two-year-old

3 terrier mix, has left his dog days behind and is now living the American dream.

4 While Monte was at the shelter, he was discovered by a professional trainer, who immediately fell in love with him. He chose

5 the dog for the role, trained him for the movie, and finally adopted him. Monte has so much love to give that even Justin Theroux,

6 the actor who voices him in the movie, cannot get enough of his cuteness.

7 Justin used his Instagram to share the dog’s inspiring story with the world and urged everybody to adopt pets instead of buying

8 and breeding them. And it’s working. Thousands of people have come forward, promoting the adoption of animals in need.

9 The Instagram post has since received a lot of positive reactions, and the Internet is in love with the real-life Tramp. Justin also

10 revealed that Disney used a lot of other rescue dogs in the making of Lady and the Tramp. On average, more than 1.5 million

11 animals living in shelters are euthanized globally every year. The statistics are heartbreaking, but true.

12 Monte the Tramp got his happy ending, but there are many others just waiting in kill shelters to get adopted before they are

13 forced to meet their premature deaths. A little kindness on your part can save a poor animal’s life. Give them a chance.
