Do you love animals at home? Actress Kristen Bell really loves her rescue dogs. She lives with her husband, Dax Shepard, and their two young daughters. In a fun new interview with The Dodo, Kristen explained why her dogs always follow her everywhere in the house.
Kristen says that her pet dogs never walk more than six feet away from her feet. Why do they stay so close? The big secret is simple: she does the most daily work for them. When you feed your pets every morning and take them outside, they know who takes care of them. Kristen and her daughters share many daily jobs, like filling water bowls and brushing fur. Dax Shepard is a great dad, but Kristen does the early routines that dogs remember best. Their family also shares a deep care for older animals in need. Whenever they visit the city of Nashville, they volunteer together at a special place called Old Friends Senior Dog Sanctuary. At this peaceful place, older dogs get love, warm beds, and safe rooms. The family spends hours walking these gentle older pets and giving them treats. Kristen believes that helping shelter animals teaches children to be kind and patient. Giving time to dogs that need help makes the whole family very happy and brings them closer together.
You can see this special bond between Kristen and her animals in everything she does. When you give love and time to a rescue dog, they return that affection every single day. Taking good care of a pet takes real work, but it creates a loyal and true friend for life.
