Joe Manganiello Wishes Happy Birthday to His Precious Rescue Chihuahua in Adorable Post

Magic Mike star and Deal or No Deal host Joe Manganiello is just the sweetest dog dad ever. Yesterday the actor, director and author took to Instagram to share an absolutely beautiful tribute to his adorable Pomeranian/Chihuahua mix named Bubbles for her birthday.

This was particularly touching because Bubbles had such a rough start in life.

The actor wrote in part, "Sometimes if you’re lucky, you come across an animal that needs your help, that needs saving, and sometimes that animal winds up saving you in return.All I know is that my job is to spoil this little thing that had a rough life before I found her.She’s flown around the world with me and back, and we’re getting ready to do it again… Happy Birthday to this little angel who came across my path…"

What a beautiful message to his sweet dog. Manganiello also explained in his birthday post that little Bubbles had mammary cancer and had to undergo two surgeries. It's so sweet to see her thriving and living her best life because on his Instagram feed you're lucky to find a photo of Manganiello without Bubbles because it seems these two travel everywhere together! Considering how tiny Bubbles is she sure is portable, and why is it that super built guys always look extra adorable when they are carrying around a tiny dog?

Even though Bubbles is tiny, she's a little toughie. When filming Deal or No Deal in February little Bubbles protected her dad from a very creepy guest while they were on an island.

In February PetHelpful explained that when Manganiello visited The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon he said, "I was like the exterminator on the island," he explained. But things got really scary when there was a giant spider under the treadmill at the hotel's gym.

"I put Bubbles in a little bassinet when I work out," he explained. So he was downright terrified that the spider would attack his precious Bubbles.

"I know that if I kill something in the jungle, the jungle might retaliate," he explained. And he was really hoping that wouldn't include his little dog.

"I am a humble Chihuahua dad," he joked"

Manganiello shared Bubbles with ex-wife Sofia Vergara and things were so amicable when they divorced that Vergara gave Manganiello full custody of the pup without a fight.

"Not in a million years would Joe part ways with his dog Bubbles and Sofía is well aware of this," a source told Page Six back in August 2023.
