Finally, a reason to go see a Transformers movie?
Michael Bay’s filmmaking choices are questionable but you can’t argue with his most recent casting decision. After seeing a story about “Britain’s loneliest dog” in the The Mirror, Bay exploded out of his seat and went into action. He cast the dog in the upcoming Transformers: The Last Knight movie.

Bay noted that if he’s unable to find a home for the dog, who has reportedly been turned down 18,000 times for adoption, he will adopt her himself.
Of course, dogs haven’t always gotten the juiciest parts in the Transformers movies so far. There’s the chihuahua that existed for a pee joke in the first movie…

We can only hope Freya ends up with a part a little bit classier than that. Oh who are we kidding? If only Steven Spielberg could have seen that story first…
