You may already know that DJ Pauly D has a big soft spot for animals—just last fall he teamed up with the ASPCA on a PSA to help the animal victims of Hurricane Sandy. Well, we always say that compassion is contagious.
Last week, Pauly’s BFF, Vinny Guadagnino, announced via Twitter that he’s welcomed a rescued puppy into his home. He even turned to his fans for help in naming his new Pit Bull. He tweeted, "Ok I changed my mind her name isn't Bodhi it's going to be Tita: Hawaiian word for a tough woman." We think that name rocks!
