Josh Groban Surprises His Rescue Dog With Sweet Dream Date
When world-renowned singer Josh Groban agreed to a blind date, he never imagined his companion would be a rescue pup named Monty. But as part of The Dodo’s heartwarming “Dodo Dream Date” series, that’s exactly who showed up—wagging tail and all. What followed was a charming and emotional day dedicated to spreading awareness about the joys of adopting rescue animals.
From the moment Josh arrived, he was prepared to make a good impression. He brought treats and a great sense of humor, instantly setting the tone for an unforgettable experience with Monty, a sweet and spirited rescue dog ready for fun and affection.
Josh Groban, best known for hits like “You Raise Me Up” and celebrated for his work in music and acting, is also a passionate advocate for animals and education. This made him the perfect partner for Monty’s big day out. Their first stop was a colorful popsicle stand. Josh offered Monty a sampling of fruity flavors, but Monty wasn’t impressed—turns out, he has a taste for only the finest snacks.
This moment led to playful banter, as Josh joked about Monty’s culinary standards. When Monty became distracted by a bug nearby, Josh laughed and said he was the “Snow White of dogs,” able to attract all sorts of creatures—except the person trying to share a treat.
Their next adventure took them to a giant piano installation, where Josh was joined by Melanie from Global Arts, a program that provides free music education to children in Los Angeles. As Josh encouraged Monty to interact with the oversized keys, the moment turned magical.
- Monty pounced playfully on the piano keys
- Josh enthusiastically called him a “musical genius”
- The pair shared laughs over Monty’s spontaneous “performance”
Throughout the day, Josh and Monty formed a genuine connection. Josh later reflected on how special it is to bond with pets, especially those that take a bit of time to warm up. That’s part of the magic, he explained—earning their trust and seeing their personality shine with affection and patience.
The Dream Date experience was about more than just adorable moments; it was part of a collaborative effort supported by The Dodo and Hill’s Science Diet through the Food, Shelter & Love program. This initiative provides essential nutrition to shelter pets and supports animal adoption, making meaningful connections like Josh and Monty’s possible.
In a wonderful outcome to the story, Monty’s dream date ended with even greater joy—he was adopted into a loving forever home. Thanks to this day of bonding and awareness, Monty’s journey from rescue to cherished companion found its perfect conclusion.
This unique date between a celebrity and a rescue pup served not only as a delightful story but also as a celebration of adoption’s power. Josh Groban’s compassion and sense of humor brought out the very best in Monty, and together, they showcased how rewarding it is to give rescue animals the love they deserve.
