Kevin Spacey and new dog Boston
Kevin Spacey found a very special – and, well, very adorable – way to honor an American city that has seen both tragedy and triumph in the last few weeks.
“New member of the family,” he Tweeted Saturday, sharing a photo of his new puppy (seemingly adopted from the North Shore Animal League America). “Her name is Boston in honor of the city.”
Since three people were killed and more than 260 injured on April 15 when two bombs exploded near the Boston Marathon finish line, the actor, 53, has visited both victims and the cops who came to their aid.
He “had to get on a plane,” he told the Boston Herald. “I’m not a doctor or first responder, but if people know me from movies, and walking into their work space or room brings a smile to their face – with the challenges these amazing citizens have in front of them – then that’s worth coming.”
