Amanda Seyfried Celebrates Her Beloved Dog's 15th Birthday
Actress Amanda Seyfried’s beloved dog, Finn, turned 15!
In celebration of her canine companion’s birthday, Seyfried uploaded several pictures of her furry friend on Instagram. The pictures varied from some solo shots of the very good boy to him posing with his Emmy-award-winning owner.
“Finny’s 15 🥳,” read the caption of the post.
Several fans flocked to the post’s comments section to wish Finn a happy birthday.
“Happy Birthday, Finn! Reaching 15 years with that charm is no small feat. I hope your day is filled with treats, well-deserved naps, and of course, plenty of belly rubs,” wrote one commenter.
“You are, without a doubt, a four-legged legend. Here’s to many more years of your reign!” added another.
“Happy Birthday!! 🎂 I feel like you just got Finn yesterday!! 😍,” commented a different person.
As fans of the actress are aware, Seyfried is obsessed with her precious pup. She even gave him a special shoutout when she won an Emmy for her portrayal of Elizabeth Holmes in the series, “The Dropout.”
Seyfried decided to adopt her canine companion in her early 20s after experiencing debilitating anxiety right when her career was taking off.
“I grew up with OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder) which I have overcome in a lot of ways. But even so, when I was living alone in Los Angeles in my early 20s, I felt really lonely and scared. I wanted my Mom to be with me, and that’s really difficult when you think that because you’re also thinking, ‘Oh, God, how can I not function as an adult without my mother? How embarrassing, how shameful,’” explained the actress in a 2019 interview with Express. “Then, when I was about 24, I got Finn, and he not only made me feel I wasn’t alone, he actually helped me to enjoy my solitude. These days, I thrive when I’m on my own, which is so freeing. There is so much that I don’t fear any more, just because of him.”
In an essay she penned for InStyle, Seyfried shared she does not enjoy being separated from her dog. She stated that she has made “sure Finn is allowed on set in all of [her] work contracts.”
According to Seyfried, Finn inspired her “to get more involved in animal advocacy” and make numerous videos for Best Friends Animal Society.
Happy birthday Finn! We hope you had a wonderful day celebrating!
