Lewis discussed the adorable pooch in a 2023 interview with Rolling Stone, where she opened up about adopting him during a challenging period in her life.

“I was in a really rough spot. I’d been isolated for over a year, quarantining totally on my own, and I had to find things to get me out of the house,” Lewis explained. “The truck provided that.”

She continued, “I don’t have any kids, but this dog opened me up in so many ways – being responsible for a soul and caring for something outside of yourself. It’s been a really crucial lesson for me.Kind of obvious, I guess, but I had no idea. I had fantasies of owning a white wolf. Instead, I ended up with a cockapoo.”
