‘It’s A Wonderful Thing’: Actress Carol Kane Shares Importance Of Embracing Older Dogs

As a lifestyle expert with a heart for animals, I wholeheartedly support and admire Janek Kane‘s commitment to senior dog adoption. Her story of nurturing and loving her elderly canine companions, Johnny and Dainty, is a testament to the profound impact one can have on an animal’s life.


In an exclusive conversation with PEOPLE, Janek Kane discussed her journey of adopting older dogs. As a senior citizen, she reminisced about her late dog, Johnny, who was by her side for many years before passing away six months ago. Dainty, on the other hand, was frail and blind when they first met, and some even called him a ‘hospice case’. However, with Kane’s affection and care, Dainty lived another five years beyond expectations. She fondly referred to her last two pets as “the babies I had were quite elderly when we became a family.”

As a devoted supporter, I wholeheartedly endorse the idea of keeping an open mind when considering canine companionship, especially with senior pets. Many people seem to shy away from adopting older dogs in favor of the charm of young puppies. However, it’s essential to remember that puppies eventually grow up, and offering a loving home to a mature dog can be incredibly rewarding.

Not only does bonding with elderly dogs prove more rewarding due to the unique care they require, but these senior pups are especially thankful for a loving home and often outlive their life expectancy. In a touching June photograph, The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt was seen showering affection on Selma Blair’s dog. As she mourns Johnny, perhaps it’s time for her to welcome an older four-legged friend into her life.

Kane strongly highlighted the remarkable ability of dogs to bounce back and expressed the idea that even a small amount of affection and nurturing can have profound effects. She drew parallels to research on chimpanzees, suggesting that a lack of affection in their formative years significantly impacts their growth and development. By focusing on the universal requirement for love and attention, she stated, “Dogs possess this trait—and so do humans.” In Nathan Silver’s latest movie, Between the Temples, Kane shared the screen with Jason Schwartzman.
