On the Ellen Show March 19, 2010, Ellen interviewed Chelsea Handler, host of E! Network show “Chelsea Lately” and author of “Chelsea Chelsea Bang Bang” which is #1 on the New York Times best sellers list. She tells Ellen how she came to rescue a dog named “Chunk” who is pictured with her on the cover of her book.

Ellen asked Chelsea, “Is this true, you never wanted to rescue a dog before, you never liked dogs?” Chelsea replied, “I never wanted to walk dogs or clean up.” But when a friend’s dog was about to be destroy she stepped up to the plate, “I said ‘No doggie, you’re coming with me.’ And now he sleeps in my bed.”

Ellen loves to give gifts to her guests. “I got something for Chunk,” she revealed. “I own a pet food line; I know that the food that was given to him at one point was not really the healthiest. And my pet food line is the healthiest food. So I have food for your dog; it’s called Halo, it’s all natural, it’s all pure.”
