Kristen Bell Rescues Katrina Dog

Actress Kristen Bell came to the rescue of a dog hauled from the wreckage of Hurricane Katrina.

The Heroes star couldn't resist taking in the pooch after the pair was introduced - even though she already had two dogs in her care.

But Bell admits the dog has a few bad habits: "She's an 11-year-old black Labrador with no teeth, one ear and she breathes like Darth Vader.

"And she eats random objects. She has eaten a carton of cigarettes; a pack of cards. She once knocked a jar of salsa over and ate the salsa and the broken glass."
