Shelter Dog Becomes Movie Star In Upcoming 'Lady And The Tramp' Remake
August 21, 2019
Every dog has his day.
For a shelter dog in Arizona, that day has come, as he lands a starring role in the upcoming Disney live-action remake of "Lady and the Tramp."
Monte, a 2-year-old terrier mix, was at HALO Animal Rescue in Phoenix with hundreds of other dogs.
Shelter workers noted that Monte was super friendly, loved to greet people and give kisses, and loved attention.
So, when animal trainers came scouting from Hollywood, Monte was a perfect fit to play the "Tramp".
