A Christmas Story:

Jerome Lester Horwitz, A.K.A. Jerome Howard, A.K.A. Curly of the Three Stooges was known by all as a dog lover. Curly's contract with Columbia Pictures included a clause that allowed him to bring his dogs on set. The studio limited him to no more than two dogs at any given time. This was due to Curly's pups making random unplanned walk-on appearances during production. Especially during some of the more raucous scenes. You can still catch those surprise canine cameos in some of the earliest Three Stooges shorts.

Typically having several dogs at any given time, Curly was known to come home often with strays he found along his travels. He would foster the strays until he was able to find new homes. It is estimated that Curly saved and re-homed more than 5000 dogs in his lifetime - making him a man before his time with his humane concern for man's best friend.
