THE DOG ROCKY BOUGHT BACK
Before Rocky made him famous, Sylvester Stallone was so broke that he sold his beloved dog, Butkus, for $40 because he could no longer afford to feed him.
Then Hollywood finally said yes. After selling the Rocky screenplay, Stallone returned for Butkus—only to be charged a reported $15,000 to get him back. He paid it. Butkus then appeared beside him in Rocky, becoming part of the story that changed both of their lives.
Shiqa’s note: Success is nice. But going back for your dog? That’s the real happy ending.
