Love is in the air at the house of model and actress Davina Veronica Hariadi. The love she shares only with her five dogs ' all strays, a shih tzu among them.
Davina said she got the strays from her friends, who saved them from the road. 'One of them seemed really in pain ' its legs were tied up. [The dog] was afraid of people [when I got it],' recalled Davina as quoted by kompas.com.
As for the the shih tzu, Davina got it from a scavenger, who lived under Kampung Melayu overpass in East Jakarta. '[The shih tzu] didn't have any fur left ' just bones wrapped in skin,' said the 36-year-old, who founded Garda Satwa, an organization focused on animal welfare.
Davina, who starred in Lovely Luna in 2004 and Ruma Maida (Maida's House) in 2009, said she gives all the love she has to those dogs.
'[I say to them], 'No matter how ugly you are, I'll always take care of you',' she said, adding that she treated her dogs like her own children.
