My mother saved hundreds of animals in her life. Wherever she encountered and injured or needy or abandoned animal, she brought it home.

My wife and I have so much fun when we travel and find anything... like stray cats and squirrels.

I find solace in animals. I have got a stray dog at home called Candy. I picked it up while I was waiting at the airport one day. I always wanted to have a 'macho' dog but got this sweet little thing instead.

My mom was a rescue veterinarian, and I grew up helping her nurse injured animals back to health. Any deer hit by a car, fox caught in a trap, whatever it was that got hurt, everyone brought them to my mom.

I gave away two dogs years ago because I felt guilty at not being able to give them the time and attention they deserved. I now regularly feed an army of squirrels and wild birds around our house.

I had a ton of animals; I had a goat growing up, a bunch of rabbits, a vegetable garden.

I grew up with a menagerie of dogs, cats, gerbils - not to mention three younger siblings.

I accredit animals for keeping me going when times were bad.

I used to love wildlife as a kid and being outside in the garden and the woods and the field and that stuff.

In my garden, which is a big garden, I have one part that is my bird garden, and every morning, 365 days a year, they get buckets of food - for the birds, for the squirrels, the chipmunks and the turtles in the summer.
