We saw him save the skin of the most famous wizard in the world in "Harry Potter e il prigioniero di Azkaban”, The third episode of the saga that has left young and old with bated breath for years. It was 2004 and today, after seven years Barry, the black German shepherd he played Plush, the animal version of Sirius Black he needs help and a new family because his owner, the stunt man Paul Thompson, can no longer take care of him.
“I found myself with work spending too much time away from home” - Thompson told the Sunday Express - while dogs need more attention and care. It was a difficult decision to make, but I have to do it for his good ”.
Thompson is looking for a home not only for Berry who is now 10, but also for his other dog, Porridge, aged thirteen, also a former movie star with a few roles in American films and series. He does so by placing a nice ad that is a real "story" on the website of the English adoption agency German Shepherd Dog Rescue.
“My real name is Berry Shadowberry and I am now 10 years old. Many years ago I played the role of Padfoot in a great movie that has been seen by many people around the world (or so my dad told me). I haven't seen him personally, but apparently she seemed quite famous to me.
I am a German Shepherd and my dad made me like a puppy. He did a lot of cool stuff like being a stunt man and training animals for the cinema. This probably explains how I got my share. I love people and my best friend is Porridge who is 13 human years old and who lives with me. Porridge has also been in some films. We are both a bit shaky as we are getting on in years, but we still need to love life ”.
The long first-person intervention complete with photos of the two dogs up for adoption also invites you to make a small donation in favor of the center that takes care of abandoned German shepherds.
Who will help Padfoot? In this case he doesn't even need magic, just lots of love.
