California Actress Bryce Dallas Howard Plans A Special Date For Rescue Dog Tator, But One Thing Steals The Show
In California, a sweet rescue dog looking for a family gets the ultimate playdate, complete with treats, toys, and a little bit of spa time.
A Dream Date Begins

A Surprising Connection

Right away, Bryce felt a special bond with the happy rescue dog.
As it turned out, they actually shared a very unique connection through the dog’s adorable name.
“Fun fact, my nickname is Tator,” Bryce revealed with a laugh as she petted the sweet dog.
She explained that when she was born, she had a round, flat face, earning her the childhood nickname “Tator Pie.”
The Mystery Wall

To make the date even more fun, the pair was presented with a giant mystery wall.
Behind a series of colorful paper circles were hidden surprises just waiting to be discovered.
The wall held special toys and treats for Tator, as well as questions for Bryce to answer.
Any toys that Tator found during the game would get to go home with her to her future forever family.
Food Over Toys

Tator eagerly approached the wall to see what kind of treasures were hiding behind the paper.
Bryce helped her punch through the first circle, revealing a delicious-looking treat.
The gentle dog happily accepted the snack, proving that the fastest way to her heart was through her stomach.
When the next circle revealed a toy alongside another treat, Tator’s preference was clear.
“Listen, I’m the same way,” Bryce joked. “I prefer food to materialistic things.”
A House Full Of Paws

As they continued to play, Bryce answered questions about her own life with animals.
When asked if she was a dog or cat person, she admitted that she couldn’t possibly choose just one.
Having grown up with both dogs and cats, she appreciated the unique quirks of every animal.
She even shared a hilarious story about her current cat, who has a habit of jumping on houseguests and “riding” them around the home.
Celebrating The Bond

The conversation soon turned to a project very close to Bryce’s heart.
She had recently directed a documentary for Disney+ called “Pets,” which explores the beautiful friendship between humans and animals.
“Without them, I don’t know where I would be,” Bryce shared, reflecting on how much animals mean to her.
The film focuses heavily on the rescue space, celebrating the incredible bond that forms when humans and pets coexist.
Time For The Spa

After all the excitement of the mystery wall, it was time for Tator to get a little pampering.
Bryce announced that it was “time to go to the spa” and gently asked the dog to sit.
Tator was a perfectly good girl, sitting politely as Bryce attempted to apply a soothing moisturizer to the dog’s nose.
However, Tator had other plans, and happily tried to lick the moisturizer away as fast as Bryce could apply it.
Ready For A Family

As their wonderful date came to an end, Bryce couldn’t help but reflect on how special Tator truly is.
She noted that her favorite part of the meeting was the immediate shower of kisses, calling it the best way to meet a new friend.
Tator is currently available for adoption and is looking for a family to call her own.
She is super friendly and can live with other pets, provided they have a proper and careful introduction.
“Whoever you may be out there, future family of Tator, you’re very, very lucky,” Bryce said. “Run, don’t walk!”
