You may remember this story from last year, but the update is so heartwarming we had to bring it back!

While in Peru filming a mountain climbing adventure for TV, former ‘Jackass’ star and thrill-seeker Steve-O decided to meet the local street dogs. He didn’t count on falling in love.

When Steve-O met a beautiful German shepherd mix, he felt an immediate connection. Named Wendy, the dog was given a hot bath, full veterinary care, and then accompanied the film crew on their mountain climbing mission.
