LOS ANGELES, Nov 26: WWE wrestler-turned-actor Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has given out USD 1500 in an attempt to help a sick dog named after him.
The 43-year-old “San Andreas” star joined a campaign to raise fund for Johnson the dog after a Los Angeles shelter SPOT! found the 4-month-old puppy in an appalling condition, reported Aceshowbiz.
“He was dumped at North Central Shelter with a large metal wire wrapped around the bottom portion of his mouth,” the description on GoFundMe read.
The dog suffers from a grade 5 heart murmur that requires a USD 4,500 surgery.
The “Furious 7” star’s affection towards dogs is not new.
The actor had adopted two French Bulldog puppies and rescued them when they jumped into his pool.
SPOT! named the puppy after Johnson “because he is going to need to be a great fighter to win this battle.” (PTI)
