Chrissy Teigen, the famous model, TV personality, and cookbook author, has recently shared some exciting news with Entertainment Tonight. The Teigen-Legend family has welcomed a new member into their household – a rescue puppy from Wags & Walks. In an exclusive interview with ET, Chrissy opened up about the new addition to their family and the special bond they all share.
The Teigen-Legend family is no stranger to pets. They already have two adorable French bulldogs, Pippa and Penny, and a hamster named Peanut Butter. However, when Chrissy and her husband, John Legend, saw a picture of the rescue puppy on Wags & Walks’ Instagram page, they knew they had to bring him home.
In the interview, Chrissy gushed about the newest member of their family, saying, “He’s the cutest little thing you’ve ever seen. He’s a little black and white scruffy mutt, and we just fell in love with him instantly.” The puppy, who they have named Petey, was rescued from a high-kill shelter in Los Angeles by Wags & Walks, a non-profit organization that rescues dogs from shelters and finds them loving homes.
Chrissy also shared that Petey has quickly become a part of their family and has bonded with their other pets. “He’s already best friends with Pippa and Penny. They play all day, and it’s just the cutest thing to watch,” she said. The Teigen-Legend family has also been working on training Petey and helping him adjust to his new home. Chrissy mentioned that he is a quick learner and has already mastered some basic commands.
But it’s not just the pets who have formed a bond with Petey. Chrissy’s two children, Luna and Miles, have also fallen in love with their new furry sibling. “Luna is obsessed with him. She loves to cuddle with him and feed him treats. And Miles just loves to watch him run around and play,” Chrissy shared. It’s heartwarming to see the children and the puppy getting along so well and creating a strong bond.
Chrissy also took the opportunity to encourage others to adopt rescue pets. “There are so many amazing dogs in shelters that need homes. And they have so much love to give,” she said. She also praised Wags & Walks for their incredible work in rescuing and finding homes for these dogs. “They are doing such an amazing job, and we are so grateful to them for bringing Petey into our lives,” Chrissy added.
The Teigen-Legend family’s decision to adopt a rescue puppy is a reminder to all of us about the importance of adopting instead of buying pets. Every year, millions of dogs end up in shelters, and many of them are euthanized due to overcrowding. By adopting a rescue pet, not only are we giving them a second chance at life, but we are also making room for more animals to be rescued.
Chrissy’s love for animals is no secret. She often shares pictures and videos of her pets on social media, and her followers love seeing them. With the addition of Petey, the Teigen-Legend family has become even more adorable and heartwarming. We can’t wait to see more of their adventures with Petey and the love and joy he brings to their lives.
In the end, Chrissy left a heartwarming message for all the animal lovers out there, saying, “Adopting a rescue pet is one of the best decisions you can make. They will bring so much love and happiness into your life, just like Petey has brought into ours.” We couldn’t agree more with Chrissy, and we hope her story inspires more people to consider adopting a rescue pet and giving them a forever home filled with love and care.
