Cameron Diaz Rescues Injured Dog 8/25/08

Actress Cameron Diaz has shown her caring side - by rescuing an injured dog she found in her neighbourhood. The Charlie's Angels star discovered a lone German Shepherd on Saturday (23Aug08) afternoon and took it back to her Hollywood home.

Diaz's representative Brad Cafarelli tells People.com, "Cameron and a friend were involved in returning an injured dog to its owner. And a source adds, "Diaz brought the dog in her house and gave it some food and water.

Her assistant posted a 'found German shepherd' sign and (the dog's owner) - Diaz's neighbour who was driving around the area - came across it." But the star's caring nature didn't stop there. The source adds that Diaz "made time to visit the vet where the dog was being treated".
