Will
Smith Dell for Canine Co-Star
1/10/08
Will Smith fell so in love with his canine co-star on new movie I Am
Legend, he tried to buy her.
Smith bonded with German Shepherd Abbey, and couldn't bear to be parted
from her when the film wrapped.
But owner/trainer Steve Berens, who rescued Abbey from run-down kennel,
had no intention of letting her go, even after Smith offered to buy him a
new house.
Smith says, "I told him, 'Abbey has to live me please!' I was
like, 'Tell me what you need - a house in the hills?' It was
painful."
Berens adds, "Abbey's part of my family and lives with us. I've
told Will he can have sleepovers any time he wants."
