Trainer reveals fate of Gene Hackman's surviving dogs after actor and his wife were found dead
Gene Hackman 's two dogs, who endured weeks of hell in a house of death, have began their road to recovery as the trainer who took them in reveals their fate.
'It is with great joy that, with the consent of the estate attorney, I and my staff at Santa Fe Tails have successfully found homes for the Hackmans' surviving dogs, Bear and Nikita,' he wrote. Padilla, 52, had forged a close bond over the years with the legendary actor and his wife, Betsy Arakawa, who took exceptional care of their three dogs, using his training and daycare services as well as those of an animal chiropractor who'd give them adjustments every few weeks. The gruff-but-beloved Hackman was among the finest actors of his generation, appearing as villains, heroes and antiheroes in dozens of dramas, comedies and action films from the 1960s until his retirement in the early 2000s.
