Sylvester Stallone has really had to struggle extremely hard.
He has said that when he was 26 years old, he was completely penniless. He owned only a pair of shoes with holes in them and two pairs of pants.
He still dreamed of success.
Stallone had a dog, BUTKUS, who was his faithful friend.
And he says that this dog was the only being in the world who loved him as he was and also the only one who put up with his moods.
Both were emaciated and always hungry. They lived in a dosshouse.
The hunger got worse and finally Stallone could not buy food for himself or the dog.
So he sold his friend for $40.
Then, finally , came * Rocky* and with it the breakthrough.
Stallone immediately tried to get his dog back.
The new owner was a real fox and now demanded $15,000 for the dog.
Stallone didn't care. His friend was worth it to him and he paid.
Rocky got the Oscar.
Butkus and Stallone never parted again and the dog was even allowed to star in two movies.
How bad it must have been to sell your best friend!
