Shelby: from a garbage dump to a movie screen

[Catherine]

Shelby was spotted in a garbage dump by an animal control officer who took her to a shelter. She turned out to be a sweet wonderful dog.
Film makers planning to make "A Dog's Way Home" were looking for a perfect match for Bella in the story.
Shelby was that match.

I haven't seen the movie, but I understand that Shelby makes the movie. It sounds like it will be well worth seeing, if only to see how a stray dog can make good in life.
Now that the movie is made, Shelby has retired and is pursuing a career  as a therapy dog. She has come a long way from her days at the dump, but she hasn't lost her sweet loving nature.
