Chris Pine opened up about his love of his pets — two rescue dogs and two other canines he is fostering — in an exclusive conversation with PEOPLE.

Highlighting some of his favorite parts of owning dogs — including "morning cuddles" — Pine says, "It's myriad, small little things throughout the day, where they make you smile because they do something ridiculous." "I was studying abroad that year, and I remember my parents calling me and telling me my dog had died, and it was shattering," he explains.
