‘The World’s Loneliest Dog’ Becomes A Movie Star Along With Sir Anthony Hopkins

 After spending six years at a shelter, the "world's loneliest dog" is receiving a happily ever after.

Freya, a dog that had previously lived in a shelter, once struggled to locate a conversation partner. She now enjoys working with some of Hollywood's biggest actors.

She will shortly join them both.

Staffordshire bull terrier Freya was brought to Freshfields Animal Rescue in England as a stray puppy. She waited and observed adopters coming and going for six years, but no one was interested in adopting her.

Freya was given the depressing moniker of "world's loneliest dog" during that time after allegedly being passed over by 18,720 pet-seekers.

But all of a sudden, things changed.

After reading an article about Freya's dreadful position earlier this year, director Michael Bay felt that the lonely dog had been ignored for far too long. Bay announced on Twitter that Freya has been cast in the upcoming installment of his "Transformers" movie series.

Since then, details have been scarce, but we now have a behind-the-scenes photo of Freya and Anthony Hopkins on the set.

"Freya's doing a terrific job acting," Bay is heard saying in the Paramount Pictures video below.

Now Freya has something superior to fame.

The beautiful puppy eventually got what she so desperately needed in July: a devoted family to call her own.

Rescuers posted on her behalf that "every dog deserves a home" online. I sincerely appreciate the support of everyone who made this possible for me.
