Sandy from ‘Annie’

Returning to New York City's Broadway in October 2012, the Annie revival will feature a special furry friend for the play's title character. While searching for the perfect pooch to play Annie's canine companion, animal trainer William Berloni came across Sunny, a terrier mix who was set to be euthanized. Berloni saw star potential in the golden-haired beauty, and sure enough, the pup landed the Broadway role. This isn't the first time that Berloni lent a hand to deserving dogs. He once spent $7 to save a dog from being euthanized. The animal went on to star in over 2,000 performances when Annie first premiered on Broadway in 1977. In fact, every dog that's played Sandy on Broadway has been rescued from a shelter. To help other hounds, Pedigree will donate $2 to an animal organization for every Annie ticket purchased from opening night through the end of 2013.
