Sylvester Stallone
In order to pay for food, the living legend Sylvester Stallone had to sell his pet dog. You may be wondering why he turned to such a drastic measure. Well, because he could not afford food while residing in a New York City “flophouse,” he sold his cherished dog Butkus out of desperation.
Stallone shared the story about having to sell his dog on his Instagram profile and then being able to get him back after becoming well-known. Even though it was a very drastic decision, and certainly a morally questionable one, at least the Rocky star had the good heart to go back for his furry friend once he made it big.
