  Beans is an 18 mo old Catahoula mix pup that needs a home DESPERATELY! She’s very very sweet, with blue eyes and is deaf. If a home isn’t found for her, she’ll be put down this Friday.

  Within a few hours I got an answer, from Ashton Kutcher, the most-followed person in the world on Twitter. Ashton says the event is ..   show all text
