Steven Seagal adopts stray dog in Romania
[November 18, 2013] BUCHAREST, Romania (AP) — He plays the tough guy in movies but actor Steven Seagal showed his soft side when he adopted one of Bucharest's street dogs.

The dogs have been in the news after a
4-year-old boy was fatally mauled by a stray in August and
Parliament passed a law allowing for Bucharest's 64,000 street
dogs to be euthanized. Seagal visited a dog shelter south of Bucharest Sunday and
adopted a 7-month-old black puppy in the long distance adoption
program, which costs 60 lei ($18) a month. The dog will remain
at the shelter. "I am doing the best I can to bring awareness... so that we can
make sure these accidents and tragedies don't happen again," he
said in comments broadcast Monday. He is currently filming thriller "A Good Man" in Romania. Copyright 2013 The Associated Press. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten or redistributed.
