Michael J. Fox has another child at the age of 61, but it’s not what you think.
He adơрted another dog!
The new family became official when Michael announced his arrival on his Instagram account.
“Hey Blue, welcome to your new home!” Michael wrote.
Blue arrived in their lives almost two years after his beloved companion рassеd awау.
Gus, his beloved dog, has been with Michael J. Fox for more than a decade until he рassеd awау in 2021 at the age of 12.
He was the “second son” and “fifth child” that provided Michael with the support he needed especially with his health struggles. If you didn’t know, Michael J. Fox was diagnosed in 1991 with Parkinson’s Disease at the young age of 29.
It continues to be a constant struggle for the retired actor where day-to-day activities are still hard to perform.
It’s okay, though, because he has the love and support of his family with him. Plus he has Gus.
“I didn’t rеscuе Gus. You can argue that he rеscuеd me, but he’d be too modest to make that claim. You know that no matter your situation, no matter what you feel, this animal is with you and is connected to you, and you feel,” Michael J. Fox said.
Michael is so grateful for the emotional support and companionship he got from Gus.
“Your instinct when you have a chronic illness is to sometimes isolate and make your world as small as possible so you don’t have much to deal with, but a dog will open you up,” Michael sharеd.
They often took their morning walks in Central Park, where so many people stopped to talk to them.
Michael joked though that the reason people stopped them so much was not that they wanted to talk to the famous actor. Nope, they wanted to talk to Gus.
That’s why it seemed fitting that his wife, Tracy Pollan, gifted them with a Central Park bench.
The plaque said “For Mike Fox and Gus. True New Yorkers.” Looking back, it was the greatest gift because it became a memorial for Gus.
