in 1971, a struggling 25-year-old sylvester stallone had to sell his dog named butkus for $40 so he could afford food. a few years later, after the huge success of his film ‘rocky’ (1976) he bought back butkus for $15,000.
"we were both hungry and living in a flophouse above a subway stop. when things got even worse i had to sell him for $40 in front of a 7-eleven store, because i couldn't afford food. then like a modern day miracle, the screenplay for rocky sold and I could buy him back, but the new owner knew i was desperate and charged me $15,000… he was worth every penny!"
stallone won an oscar for ‘rocky’ and butkus even got to star in the first two movies before he passed away in 1981.
