Poison frontman Bret Michaels adopts dog named after him

After helping save the life of a sick kitten, a stray dog named Bret Michaels has found a new home — with rock star Bret Michaels. Bret, a 6-year-old Husky, caught the attention of the Poison frontman following a viral media post from the Nebraska Humane Society that detailed how the pup saved the life of a kitten by donating his blood. “Dr. [Katie] James, one of our veterinarians, remembered a little trick that canine blood can be transfused into a cat,” Alec Rose, a digital marketing manager for Nebraska Humane Society, told “Good Morning America.”
