John Travolta and his youngest son, Ben, have adopted the puppy that appeared in the tribute to the late Betty White at the 94th Academy Awards.
The actor shared a photo on Instagram, expressing his gratitude to pet adoption service Paw Works and presenter Jamie Lee Curtis, who introduced the pup during the ceremony's in memoriam segment. Curtis had highlighted White's passion for animal rights and encouraged viewers to adopt rescue dogs like Mac & Cheese. Travolta's adoption of the puppy was described by Curtis as a "magical ending to the story."
She revealed on her own Instagram that she had reunited with Travolta, whom she had starred alongside in the 1985 film Perfect, before the Oscars. She was touched to see Travolta holding the little pup, and later discovered that he and Ben had decided to take Mac & Cheese home. For Curtis, this adoption served as a heartfelt tribute to Betty White and underscored the importance of rescuing animals and providing them with a loving home. The story resonates as a reminder of how humans can make a positive impact on the lives of animals in need.
