Glen Powell Adopted 'Brisket' Thanks to 'Twisters' Co-Star Anthony Ramos

Adopting a dog can be a huge decision, and it's always helpful when you can rely on the advice of a friend to encourage you to take such an important step. That's what happened with Twisters co-stars Anthony Ramos and Glen Powell when Powell was considering becoming a dog dad.

It turns out Anthony Ramos, 32, had his own dog named Prince on the set which got Powell to start thinking about getting his own fur baby.

People Magazine has an exclusive with the In The Heights star who explained how he encouraged Powell to give pup parenthood a go. " remember when Glen was on set, and he was thinking about getting a dog, and Prince would be around all the time, and he was like, 'Yo, bro, you think I should do it?'" Ramos says.

Ramos continues, "And everyone was like, 'Yeah, bro, it's a lot of responsibility, but it's great, man. It's great if you could swing it.' Brisket is the perfect size to travel with him. He's such a sweet dog. He's super fun."

According to People, Prince is a four-year-old Alaskan Klee Kai/American Eskimo Dog. Here are the two pals here taken from Anthony Ramos Instagram.

If you are considering adopting your own dog, and you absolutely should because it may be one of the best decisions you will ever make, here are some things to consider.

What To Consider Before Adopting a Dog

Adopting a dog, especially a dog that has spent weeks or months in a shelter, if an absolutely wonderful thing to do. But there are many important factors to take into consideration before you add a fur baby to your family, and they can include things like how much time do you have to spend with a dog? Do you work long hours? If you are gone most of the day it may be a good idea to adopt an older dog instead of a puppy who needs frequent attention and bathroom breaks.

Where you live. A larger dog may need a yard or close access to a park so they can have room to run, where a smaller dog may be better suited to apartment living.

What grooming requirements a dog has. Are you willing to shell out money for monthly grooming appointments or do you want a shorter hair breed dog who can do with the occasional bath?

Do you want a more playful dog, a dog that follows commands well, or a lazy dog? The AKC is such a wonderful resource for information on so many different dog breeds. You can also ask shelter volunteers what they would suggest for the best type of dog for your family. We are sure they'd love to match you with your forever friend. If you are interested in donating, volunteering, or adopting your own cat or dog, please check with your local animal rescue, breed specific rescue, or Humane Society.
