World’s Loneliest Shelter Dog’ Becomes A Movie Star In Transformers 5, Works With Anthony Hopkins
An epileptic shelter pooch named Freya who is ‘the world’s loneliest dog’ was chosen to star in a Hollywood blockbuster along with Sir Anthony Hopkins! Not only did this turn the doggie’s world upside down; it also introduced her to some A-listers and glamorous filming sets and helped her to find a loving forever home…
This dog version of Cinderella started when film director Michael Bay read an article in the British media about a Staffordshire bull terrier pooch who spent the first 6 years of her life in Freshfields Animal Rescue Center, and was rejected by potential owners more than 18,720 times.
Bay found it heartbreaking and tweeted: “We gave the Loneliest Dog a role in Transformers.” The director, who is a huge dog-lover, also promised to help her find a home.
Fast-forward, and not only did Freya do a great job starring in a movie, she also found a loving family to adopt her..

Share on FacebookI hope the people that passed her up, can now see that possibilities exist in ALL animals. All you have to do is take a little time to show them how it is done!
Ohmigosh I cried when I saw the little signs her forever family made for her room!
I hope her new family will make up for all the lost love she's missed out on!! But I'm glad that someone with influence put the effort in
I love Michael Bays work. Now I love him even more for helping this doggie
i am very happy for freya, but she is not the only dog with that fate. we need more famous people to start sharing and helping... <3
Can't believe nobody adopted her for so long. She looks quite like a pibull mix for me and they're such a great dogs
I think the dog doesn't care about who he walk with or any stupid blockbuster. He just need live and a home
Anthony Hopkins acting in Transformers?! This may mean 2 things- either it's gonna be a really good movie, or Sir Anthony is bored and doesn't get good movie roles anymore. I love this actor, and i sincerely hope it is the first option!
These are the kinds of stories that are ignored by pit-bull haters.
Michael Bay is an absolute sweetheart for taking on Freya to appear in Transformers and get her a chance at finding her 'forever' home. :)
She's a beautiful dog - I don't understand why she was rejected so many times.
How could that beautiful pooch be overlooked so many times? That face!
This is a very moving piece of journalism. The dog is a darling and the film director (it was him who finally adopted Freya, right?) is an angel.
I would love to adopt and give my love to all lonely animals. So happy that she got adopted and looks much happier
