Discussing the relationship between her pets in a recent interview with local TV stationĀ KTVB, Wendy stated: "I was holding the puppy, and the puppy was sleeping, and I allowed Sweet Pea to come meet the puppy.
"I think it's just that the world, in this time that we live in, saw that video and just loved the unadulterated love of two animals just caring about each other."
