Mandy Moore calls rescue new dog 'the most unexpectedly wonderful addition' to her family - and reveals son Gus picked out the adorable name


On Saturday, the actress, 39, who shares her sons August 'Gus' Harrison, two, and Oscar 'Ozzie' Bennett Goldsmith, one, with husband Taylor Goldsmith, announced they rescued another dog.

'We weren't looking for another dog but he was looking for us and the fact that he looks remarkably like our dear Joni made it too impossible to ignore,' she added, referencing her late pooch, who passed away, at age 12, in 2020. 'I saw her puppy mug online way back in early 2008 and drove down to San Diego to meet her at @thebarkinglotrescue and was instantly smitten. There's a deep chasm of emptiness that will never be filled but I am so grateful for her sweet nature and the endless connection, compassion, responsibility, patience and devotion that the love of a pet can bring into your orbit.'
