Stars from all over the world gather under one roof what surprised the audience was the presence of an unexpected guest: a rescue dog, named Mac-n-Cheese. The dog came to the stage to pay special tribute to the late Betty White.

The dog has an interesting history attached to him. The dog named Mac-n-Cheese is a rescue dog. He found a happy home with one huge star.
The dog came in as a part of the annual memorial segment at the Oscars. In this segment, the program celebrates the stars who died in the past year. A few of the famous stars who left us last year and got a mention were Sidney Poitier, Ivan Reitman, and Betty White.

Betty was an outspoken supporter of animal rights. She has been an advocate for animal causes for decades. She wanted herself to be known for the cause of animals.
When the Oscars decided to pay tribute to the late actress, they made sure to fulfill her wish to be known for the cause of animals by bringing her rescue dog.
In the speech, Curtis said, ‘She was not just any Golden girl, she was a legend, she brightened every room she walked in, brought a smile to every face who had the luck to see her. A woman who cared so much, not only for humans but animals just like the one I am holding.’
Curtis at the end of her speech tried to encourage people to adopt rescue pets as a tribute to Betty.
In her words, ‘ Probably, the greatest gift we can give Betty White is to bring a rescue dog home just like Mac-n-Cheese. So thank you, Betty, Thank you for being such a great friend and human.’ The little dog was present on the stage during all this time.
Where is Mac-n-Cheese now?
