Animal Shelter Called Out Paul Rudd to Adopt a Dog That Looks Like Him

While some bear a stronger similarity than others, most celebrities’ doppelgangers are at least human. An animal shelter from Tennessee has reached out to none other than Paul Rudd to adopt a dog that supposedly looks just like him. The shelter even renamed the puppy based on the striking resemblance in the hopes that the actor would recognize himself in the dog.

Meet Pawl Ruff!

The dog in question has been identified by the Collierville Animal Shelter in Tennessee, which allows potential pet owners to adopt an animal in need and offer it a “second chance at life.” Yet, one dog received extra care when the shelter realized why he was so familiar. The shelter is so certain that Waffle House, a male Australian Shepherd mix, weighing 65 pounds, resembles Paul Rudd, that they have renamed the dog, Paul Ruff. According to the official adoption page for Ruff, the two have more in common than just their appearance. The page reads that just like Rudd, the dog is an easy-going and very gentle fella, the kind of guy you want to be your neighbor, best friend, or even a lifelong companion.

The official Twitter page of Collierville reached out to the Ant-Man star with a kind of unusual request. Accompanied by a collection of photos showing both Ruff and Rudd’s similar facial expressions, they tweeted that while making love connections between people and pets today, they discovered that one of their dogs is meant to be with Paul Rudd.

Catching Paul Rudd’s Attention

Despite the fact that Rudd didn’t have a Twitter profile for the page to reach out to him directly, they tagged the official Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania account, having over 1.4 million followers. They did so in hopes of swinging Paul Rudd’s attention their way. Countless people flooded the comment section to share their reactions to the request for the shelter. One person even sent positive vibes to Pawl Ruff, so he finds a forever home.

After posting the adoption call-out, Collierville Animal Shelter in Tennessee has received countless adoption applications for the pooch, yet none of those applications belong to Paul Rudd himself.

ESPN Announcer Breaks World Record for the Longest Cornhole Shot

Martin Smith, a sports journalist (best known as Marty Smith and for his work with ESPN), broke the Guinness World Record for the longest cornhole throw on November 7, 2022. The attempt was aired live on SEC Network, and the Guinness World Records adjudicator was present on-site.

Marty Smith attempted to break the previous record on a Saturday football game between the University of Georgia and the University of Tennessee. This means that he was live on TV and the pressure was high. Despite everything, he managed to sink his shot from a distance of 76 feet.

Smith’s shot was also ranked No. 5 on SportsCenter‘s weekly Top 10 list. After nailing the shot, the announcer said “There is nothing that I’ve ever experienced that created the euphoria of winning the redneck Olympics.”

Only a Year Later Than the Previous Record

Up until now, the record was held by Jonny Gordon. The man loved playing cornhole with his brother and decided to make an official attempt of setting a Guinness World Record on November 06, 2021.

The record was planned to take place on a basketball court, but due to the heavy rain, they moved the event to the Florida Gators’ stadium. Gordon sank his shot from a distance of 75 feet and 1 inch. It looks like November is the perfect month for setting records involving cornhole, as there is exactly a one-year and one-day difference between the two successful attempts.

Marty’s Preparation and Technique

After beating the record, Marty Smith gave an interview where he explained that he used to throw vertically but his coach, Chris told him to turn the bag for better aerodynamics. While Marty Smith didn’t specify how long he had prepared for the attempt, he shared that he had been throwing the bag the wrong way for more than a week before changing his technique.
