I don’t know about your kids, but my daughters love the new ABC Family show, Ruby and the Rockits. When an email showed up in my inbox about Katie Amanda Keane, one of the stars of the show, I called my daughters over to read it to them.
Not too long ago, Kansas-born Katie, like hundreds of other young hopefuls, came to Hollywood hoping to make it big. While visiting the Westside German Shepherd Rescue in Los Angeles one day, she came across Georgie, a six week old puppy that has since made a huge difference in her life. She says, “Georgie was the quietest, sweetest angel. She immediately curled up and wanted to be close.”
After they both survived the first six months of puppyhood, Katie says they “made it through house training, ankle biting, and turning each others’ lives upside down to become completely bonded.”
Amid the stress of Hollywood, work, and homesickness, Katie has since come to find strength and peace through her 100-pound companion, and says that Georgie remains the most important thing in her day. They spend as much time as they can together jogging, hiking, and hitting the beach.
