lou wegner joins me now from los angeles.ere. >> thank you. thanks for having us. we're very excited to be here. >> i knew you flew so far and devoted so much time for this prom, tell me, what did it feel like to learn that both dogs were adopted? >> oh, i mean, it was just a great feeling. it was like i was just -- it was just an idea. and it was an idea that worked. and when an idea works and you save lives and there's nothing better. it was awesome. >> where did your passion come from to get involved in this cause? >> my passion came from my parents. you know, they got me enrolled in zoo camp when i was 2 years old. and ever since then i've just always been working with animals. when i was older, i was in a wildlife camp that worked on rehabilitating wild animals like hawks and coyotes. and once i came out here to do acting, i got involved with animal rescue. and it's something that's been with me since i was a kid. i felt like that also helped me with my knowledge and animals and pushed kids in a positive way. >> gas cham
