Expanded Description:
What makes this part celebrity bio and part Hollywood tell-all even more interesting are the details of Chipperton's TV and movie training techniques and how they can be applied to everyone's pets. Enter Gidget, the Taco Bell Dog, stage left...
dog training, cute dog stories and juicy Hollywood gossip - what more could you ask for?
She walked the red carpet and traveled by limo and private jet. She befriended the hottest A-list celebrities and amassed millions of fans herself. She was the most famous twelve-pound starlet in history. And she loved every minute of it. Her name was Gidget. To the world she was the Taco Bell dog. Until now, no one has ever told the extraordinary story of this irresistible pup's charmed life, on-screen and off- from her acclimation into a new home and family to the studious training she loved. And finally to the television campaign that gave Gidget a voice, not to mention impeccable comic timing.
Part celebrity bio and part Hollywood tell-all (from a pint-size perspective), Gidget's story is an illuminatingly human one as well, chronicling the work of Gidget's devoted trainer, Sue Cipperton, and their life together. Sue details the training techniques she uses for her TV and movie animals and how they apply to the training of everyone's pets. She reveals facinating stories of working with Clint Eastwood, Brad Pitt- and Moonie, Gidget's Chihuahua friend and the eventual star of Legally Blonde, who became a key part of both Sue's and Gidget's lives. In A Famous Dog's Life, Sue Chipperton shares all her delightful tales, investing humor, genuine warmth, and rare insight into one of the freshest and most uncommon Hollywood success stories ever told.
As an animal-safety rep for the American Humane Asociation's Film and Television Unit - the only organization in the world authorized to protect the welfare of animals in the entertainment industry and sanctioned to award the famous 'No Animals Were Harmed' end credit - I act as the voice and advocate for all the animals set. In this book, Sue has given a voice to Gidget as well as all the animals she has had the opportunity to train and bring through her doors. What a great tribute to Gidget, who was a star among animal actors. And Sue is a star among Hollywood animal trainers. --Netta Bank, senior certified animal safety representative, American Humane Association, Film & TV Unit.
