What We're Loving: Bradley Cooper's Homage to His Beloved Dog Samson
03/22/2011
Hunky actor Bradley Cooper may play suavely piggish characters in box office hits such as "The Hangover" and "Wedding Crashers," but based upon a recent story in the New York Times, it's evident that in real life, he's truly a very warm, likable down to earth guy.
Brad's For Dogs
Clearly a huge animal lover, Cooper adopted his beloved dog Samson, a German shorthaired pointer, from a kill shelter's Web site just three weeks before he was going to be euthanized. His other dog Charlotte, a chow-retriever mix, was adopted when Cooper spotted her during an adoption drive in Santa Monica, Calif.
Sadly, Samson passed away last year and Cooper had a beautifully enormous portrait honoring Samson hung in his Pacific Palisades home (Charlotte is resting under the table). How fantastic is this portrait?! LOVE IT!
We're def fans now!
Such a sweet homage to his companion - don't you think? We here at The Daily Treat give Mr. Cooper two thumbs and twelve paws up! To read the whole story, visit The New York Times

What a great story and beautiful picture. It's nice to see and hear the personal side of famous people and what they're really all about. Just seeing the picture, I know that Bradley Cooper has alot in common with many of us who consider our pets family. Thanks for sharing the story and getting the word out - he's obviously a good guy!
