The actor is giving us all the feels yet again with another
incredibly generous move. In the spirit of the holidays, the Today Show
revealed that he donated $1,500 to save a puppy's life after he had been
tortured and abandoned, left with a metal wire wrapped around his snout.
Johnson may be a little biased considering the pooch was
named after him, but nonetheless he stepped in and provided the donation to go
toward his surgery. "Stay strong lil' Rock! Let's get you taken care of,
healed up and feeling better for Christmas. Plus you have a VERY cool name to
uphold;). Got your back," the Furious 7 actor wrote on the pup's donation
page.
Thanks to Johnson's generous gift, the pup was able to
undergo his surgery, and we're sure he'll find the strength to make it through!
Of course, this moment of kindness is just one of many for
Johnson, who we can safely consider "The World's Rock." Here are 7
more reasons he's one of the best dudes in the industry with one of the biggest
hearts:
He created the Dwayne Johnson Rock Foundation: As the spokeperson for the National
Afterschool Association, Johnson originally created the foundation to help
assist recovery and encourage hope in the lives of children hospitalized for
various medical conditions. Since then, it has expanded its mission to include
education and child obesity prevention programs.
Johnson announced his new venture, "Rock the
Troops" this summer, a grand scale music and entertainment event to
celebrate and entertain deployed US Troops serving overseas. It will be filmed
at a military base overseas and will be released on Veterans Day 2016.
He constantly promotes a college education: He is a director
for the Beacon Experience, encouraging kids to encourage their schooling beyond
high school.
He provided a $2 Million donation to University of Miami
alumni center, The gift allowed the university to build a place where people
start and finish their business on campus. It also showcases the successes of
alumni throughout the years.
From lifting his family out of poverty—something his mom
still cries over—to buying his housekeeper a new car, he's always giving back
to those he loves and cares for.
He helped organize a gala for the Rush Philanthropic Arts
Foundation, helping to provide funding for non-profit organizations that give
disadvantaged urban youths exposure and access to the arts.
Johnson has often volunteered to meet some of his biggest
fans who are struggling with cancer, disease or life-threatening health issues,
always providing them with hope and encouragement.
