CY@CY Says Welcome to my dreamscape. Where a Lim is also a Ling.
Harry Potter movies have made their human stars famous and rich. But sadly, this is not the case for the Berry, the black German shepherd known to millions of children around as Padfoot in the Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.

Poor Berry is looking for a new home. No wonder he is looking so forlorn.

Ten-year-old Berry, who played the animal version of Gary Oldman’s character Sirius Black and the godfather to Radcliffe’s character Harry, can no longer be looked after by his owner, Paul Thompson.
Trained stuntman Thompson said he spends too much time away from home to give Berry the attention he deserves. He is also looking for a new home for Berry’s life-long pal Porridge, a German Shepherd cross.

Porridge is also a star of the screen, with roles in The Bill and the TV adaptation of Zadie Smith’s novel White Teeth but at the age of 13 the roles have now dried up.
52-year-old Thompson said: ‘I found myself spending a lot of time away from home. The dogs needed more attention than I could give. It was a difficult decision to make but one I had to accept was best for the dogs.’
He had arranged for the pair, who has been together since they were puppies and cannot be separated, to be fostered by animal re-homing charity German Shepherd Dog Rescue but so far no one has offered them a home.
I really find that surprising. Hey, Mr Thompson, send them to Malaysia!
very shocking!!! how could they left him by himself.. all alone without home!! damned!! dont u guys have a heart! he’s been doing so good in the movie and u left him after u get the credit!! fuck u mr!
theyre not all alone and without a home, silly 😛 they live in a nice foster home. They’re looking for a permanent family.
I read that both dogs had received many offers of new homes; and that until a permanent home was found they would both be in foster care homes. What happened? Did all the offers dry up…like the jobs these two lovely dogs had until they got too old to work. I say “for shame” Mr. Thompson! How could you abandon these two dogs who gave you not only the joy of animal companionship and unconditional love, which is surely enough, but also the glory of fame and fortune? These two dogs should be living in retirement glory in a place of comfort at your expense.
