After only one season on Hulu’s romantic comedy Strictly Sexual: The Series, viewers have already fallen in love with 29-year-old Kristen Renton’s almost angelic character “Summer.”

Renton’s role as “Ima” on FX channel’s Tuesday night crime/drama Sons of Anarchy has made many love to hate the hard-nosed vixen. And her character as spoiled rich kid “Morgan Hollingsworth” on NBC soap opera Days of Our Lives may have stirred up envy in some.

With so many personalities played by this blonde bombshell lies one of her most important roles. This role yet not glamorous, but highly rewarding is humanitarian. Behind the many faces of those glistening eyes and sunny smile is a heart of 14-karat gold.

For as long as she can remember, this Denver, Colo.-born, Florida-raised beauty has spent much of her time saving the lives of animals in need.

In light of new legislation governing ownership of bully breeds, Animal Planet's "It's Me or The Dog" host Victoria Stilwell talks with UnleashMagazine.com about breed specific discrimination.

1) What inspired you to work with animals?

Since I was born, I’ve loved animals.  Through my own trials in life I’ve learned the importance of helping the underdog, so to speak.  Animals don’t speak a recognized human language, so they need people to be their advocates.  I had a lot of odd jobs over the years, until I became somewhat of a jack of all trades.  I eventually gravitated back to intensive work with animals, as well as writing on their behalf.  I give a lot of my professional energies these days to caring for special needs pets—-particularly dogs who’ve been abused, abandoned, or neglected and need help overcoming their fears.

Much like the brawny Pit Bull on display in his latest music video “I Know” shot in downtown Atlanta, rapper/ D4L Records, Inc. CEO Carlos “Shawty Lo” Walker has gotten a bad rap.

Mirroring his canine companion in short stature, stocky build and fearless attitude, Shawty Lo (comparable to his breed of choice) can be just as compassionate, caring and at times bashful as a pampered house pet. Born and raised in west side Atlanta’s infamous Bankhead section, this bustling businessman overcame dire poverty, a drug-infested neighborhood and the everyday dangers of living on the other side of the tracks to transform his dreams into reality.

Known for its many unique gifts and traits the Rottweiler is certainly a leader among dogs.  It is probable that the breed descended from the Italian Mastiff in Europe during the Middle Ages. The Rottweiler is a courageous dog and can be very devoted to their owner. By nature the breed is very loyal and protective of their masters. Although they can be tough to train, with a lot of practice and patience the reward in the end is worthwhile.

Often the choice of a mascot reflects a desired quality. A common example of this is the "fighting spirit," and competitive nature which is personified by warriors or predatory animals.  Mascots may also symbolize a local or regional trait. For these reasons colleges and universities have employed dogs as their mascot or athletic representative. The most widely accepted breed is the English bulldog. There are about 39 universities across the nation that use bulldogs as their mascot. Among some of these colleges are Georgetown University Hoyas, University of Georgia Bulldogs, Gonzaga Bulldogs, Yale Bulldogs, Fresno State Bulldogs and Butler Bulldogs.

Georgetown University's mascot is Jack the Bulldog. Around 1926, Georgetown used a bulldog named “Hoya”. Throughout the years the dog changed breeds until recent years when the school purchased a bulldog that was a show dog. Georgetown wanted to call the dog “Hoya” but the dog didn’t reply to any name but “Jack”, his show name. Therefore, Jack the Bulldog came into place. This particular bulldog grew favor amongst the students, as he was an entertaining edition to the campus.

Some folks say that a lot can be told about a person by their pet of choice. And this rings true in the uncompromising career of Spanish Harlem-born, Queens-raised rapper Joe Budden.
 
After years of rising through the ranks of New York’s venomous mixtape circuit, Budden’s rags to riches tale is nothing short of the determined nature of his blue-nosed Pit Bull Harlem. And his steady but uncanny rise to fame is as rare as his Italian-bred Cane Corso Mastiff named Brooklyn.
