“I didn’t rescue Gus,” the actor shared. “You can argue that he rescued me, but he’d be too modest to make that claim.” He continued, “Your instinct when you have a chronic illness is to sometimes isolate and make your world as small as possible so you don’t have much to deal with, but a dog will open you up,” he explained.
