The Extraordinary Life of Joaquin Phoenix

Joaquin’s dog’s rare allergy

Joaquin loves all animals and has a beautiful white female pit bull mix. He saved her from the shelter while she was on her way to being euthanized over 13 years ago. Her name is Soda and Joaquin loves taking her for walks outside, but unfortunately, Soda is allergic to sunlight.

In order to combat this rare allergy, Joaquin bought her a suit especially made for this condition, so that he could take Soda to the beach. Unfortunately, Soda didn’t not like the outfit very much, so he has to keep her inside mostly during the day. It was important to him that both his and his fiance’s dogs, got along really well, and they did! Both him and Rooney Mara are animal lovers and this is a great thing for both their dogs.
