Emma Stone is coming clean about her relationship with one of her co-stars from the Disney movie Cruella. And let’s just say the award-winning actress had a lot of thoughts about Bobby.
A behind-the-scene clip from the 2021 film shows Emma palling around with Bobby on set.
While some co-stars can’t stand each other, that wasn’t the case between Emma and the pup, who portrayed Cruella’s companion in the movie.

As a video from Disney Studios shows, Emma adored the mixed-breed pup. And what’s even more interesting is the Buddy was a rescue pup too.
“Buddy is played by a little dog named Bobby, who is a little mutt that was found on the streets of Cyprus and was rescued,” a voiceover on the video states.
Three days after Bobby was found, he was casted in the Cruella movie.
“So from the streets to Hollywood star,” the voiceover continues.
You know who recognized Bobby’s genius immediately — Emma Stone.
“Bobby is a true superstar. It’s like meeting Lassie. I don’t even know what to do!” she exclaimed. The clip even shows Emma praising the pup for being a “good boy” while on set.
“Good boy, Bobby! Good boy!” she gushed.
“I can’t live without him,” Emma later said.
Reality of Stray Dogs in Cyprus
Dogs like Bobby are unfortunately not a rare sight in Cyprus. According to president of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (CSPCA) Toula Poyiadji, there are more than 250,000 dogs abandoned every year, Philenews reports. Speaking in 2023, the official said the problem was worse than ever.
Shelters in Cyprus are overcrowded, she said, and strays have had to resort to wandering the the mountain areas, villages, buffer zones, and cities. While there, they came in contact with domesticated pets.
“Malnourished and abused dogs devour moufflons, chickens, rabbits, goats, sheep, and even cats,” she said.
She added that authorities responsible for the welfare of animals are understaffed or non-existent.
“We call on the new President of the Republic of Cyprus to take this unacceptable and harming situation for our country, very seriously, and provide immediate and drastic solutions,” she added at the time.
So we guess you could say Bobby is one of the lucky ones. Commenters online were so thankful that he’d had his happy ending. “I love that Hollywood uses rescue dogs,” wrote one person. “Did she take him home? I hope. She loves him!” another person praised. “So beautiful,” someone else chimed in.
These two have the best relationship. We’re sure Emma feels lucky that she got to work with the one and only Bobby!
