Jennifer Aniston recently shared a heartwarming video on Instagram, giving fans a glimpse of her adorable rescue dog friends listening intently as she read from her new children’s book, Clydeo Takes a Bite Out of Life. The book, part of a four-book series, is inspired by Aniston’s own rescue dog, Clyde, a Schnauzer who has captured hearts with his animated likeness featured in the book.
The actress and producer hopes her latest literary venture will inspire people to support animal shelters and adopt shelter dogs. In an effort to raise awareness, Aniston launched The Clydeo Fund, which aims to support organizations that rescue, rehabilitate, and find forever homes for animals. “With every dollar donated, The Clydeo Fund will help shelters that are in desperate need of help,” she said, speaking to People Magazine. “These shelters can’t keep up, and we’re euthanizing perfectly healthy dogs. It’s heartbreaking.”
Aniston’s personal connection to the cause is clear, as she shared an adorable clip of unboxing the books with Clyde by her side. Through her work, Aniston continues to advocate for animal welfare, stressing the importance of keeping shelters functioning and supporting animals in need.
In a lighter moment, the actress also shared how reading to dogs—like she does with her own pets—can benefit both the animals and the humans involved. Reading to dogs in a calm, soothing voice can help alleviate kennel stress, promote socialization, and provide mental stimulation. While dogs may not understand the words, the sound of a human voice helps them feel more connected and at ease. For humans, especially children, reading to dogs can enhance literacy skills, boost confidence, and foster emotional bonds.
Aniston’s initiative underscores her long-standing commitment to animal welfare and adds a unique twist to her ongoing support for shelter pets, with Clydeo serving as a charming ambassador for a cause close to her heart.
Those interested in supporting the cause can follow Clydeo’s adventures on his Instagram page and contribute to The Clydeo Fund to help further these life-saving efforts for dogs in need.
