Bautista shared the story of how he adopted one of his four dogs, Talulah, a pitt bull, on The Tonight Show, reports people.com. According to the actor, his 'Guardians of the Galaxy' co-star Pratt was shooting for 'The Electric State' with Brown, when he “got wind” that the actress was trying to help find Talulah a forever home.

Bautista, an ardent animal lover, told host Jimmy Fallon that Pratt "hit me up and he said, 'I know you’re a fan of this breed, and my co-star is trying to adopt her out'."

“And I said, ‘I’m sorry man, you know I’ve already got three…I just kept looking at her picture, and I was just… I just fell in love with her.” Bautista decided to bring his new four-legged friend home.

“He said, ‘Well let me hook you up with my co-star, Millie,’ and I said, ‘Wait a minute - Millie Bobby Brown?’ " Bautista recalled, adding that his reaction was, “No way!”

Bautista added: “I like telling people this story. It sounds weird to me when I say, ‘And Chris Pratt hit me up, and I got my dog, you know, from Millie Bobby Brown'." He added: “I sound, like, super Hollywood.”

Bautista said he was also working on a film at the time and would take the puppy in a week, to which Brown said: “Don’t worry about it, I’ll have someone drop her off.”

“So literally the day I got home… I was overseas in Rome … I got home, and I was there, and I waited, and these two guys showed up, like, in the middle of the night. They drove her down from Atlanta, and dropped her off, and I took her in,” he said. “She’s been with me ever since.”
