Hear What Kaley Cuoco-Sweeting Loves ‘More Than Life Itself’


Kaley Cuoco-Sweeting makes no secret of her love for animals. The Big Bang Theory actress seems to consistently populate her Instagram page with adorable pictures of her dogs and, on occasion, her husband Ryan. Kaley recently adopted a rescue puppy after meeting her during a television appearance at an animal shelter, adding to the Cuoco-Sweeting clan’s already large canine family.

Today, in an interview posted on the website of the The Humane Society of the United States, Kaley said she loves her dogs “more than life itself.” She credits the adoption experience of her first dog, Norman, eight years ago, with getting her started in animal advocacy work. She told the HSUS:

“[M]y passion got very strong maybe eight years ago when I rescued my first dog [a pit bull named Norman]. I went to a rescue. And he walked in, and he jumped up on me and almost pushed me over. It was love at first sight. I don’t know what happened that day, but I became this pit bull lover. Now we actually have three, and I love them more than life itself. I think they’re absolutely amazing, and I want to promote rescue as much as possible. I walk into these shelters, and there’s thousands and thousands—and most of them are pit bulls that need rescue. It’s just become a big passion of mine, and it will be for the rest of my life.”

Cuoco spoke to the HSUS to support the organization’s campaign to end the commercial seal hunt. She expressed a desire to accompany an HSUS team to observe the hunt, which they document annually. She said her desire to go comes from a willingness to be an authentic advocate for the cause:

“I need to show my fans, and people that agree with me and disagree with me, that I’m willing to go out there. I want to see it face to face.”

Kaley is back to work on The Big Bang Theory after the new season’s production was delayed pending new contracts for the show’s main stars. Forbes reported last week that Cuoco’s three-fold salary increase will boost her financial status compared to other stars. Last year she was the second-highest paid actress on television, second only to Modern Family‘s Sofia Vergara. She brought in more earnings than her Big Bang Theory co-stars because of her film work and endorsement deal with Toyota.

Fans of The Big Bang Theory can see Kaley Cuoco-Sweeting in new episodes starting in September.
