George Clooney rubbed turkey meatballs on his shoes to make sure the dog he fell in love with online liked him.
The actor called the animal shelter where he first saw his new dog Einstein, and asked what he had to do to take the rescued cocker spaniel home.
Bosses there told him he would have to pay a visit so they could see if the dog would take a liking to him.
He tells Esquire magazine, "I start to panic that Einstein is not going to like me, so I run into the kitchen, where I have these turkey meatballs, and I rub them all over my shoes... Who knew Einstein was such a food whore on top of everything? He throws himself at my feet."
The ploy worked and he was able to take Einstein home.
Clooney adds, "He just thinks of me as the guy with the meatball feet. He loves me. I can do no wrong. He follows me everywhere."
