The Law & Order: Organized Crime star, 63, along with her husband Sherman Williams and their two children, Sophia and Dante, welcomed a rescued border terrier named Scotty into their lives 13 years ago. Meloni believed that Scotty’s addition had a positive effect on the family.
Reflecting on the experience, Melon jokingly told his younger son that he thinks there’s an animal in the family that’s not my son. The heart is in a different place
Speaking of Scotty, Meloni said the dog was “very birdy” and had a mysterious personality. The actor’s relationship with Scotty shows a softer side of his personality, in contrast to his challenging roles on screen.
Despite his reputation as a rough guy, Christopher Meloni has an innocent side. He talked about the cherished dog in his house and his new friendship. The family’s rescue border terrier, Scotty, had spent thirteen years living with them. Scotty was now an essential member of their family. Meloni talked kindly about how strange Scotty was.
Meloni told PEOPLE, “You never know quite what he’s thinking.” He is capable of taking you or leaving you. However, he will eventually show you how much he needs you. But in his own time and manner.
Meloni emphasized how Scotty shows his appreciation, especially during walks or meals. He will be very grateful when you take him for a walk or when you want to feed him. He said That’s when you’re best friends. Despite their bond, Scotty stays aloof. This reminded Meloni of a cat and added to Scotty’s cuteness.
The family named their dog Scotty, but Meloni had his idea. She called the dog Biscotti, joking that although Scotty was a good name, she felt it needed to be perfect. Despite his excitement, his family didn’t mind the name change. Maloney’s comments show her love for Scotty and a playful side to him, in contrast to the tough persona he portrays on screen.
In a humorous story, Christopher Meloni told how his family rejected his suggestion for a new name for their dog. He made light of the family’s choice, joking that they had “nixed me so hard,” as is their habit. A weaker guy would have given up, but he fought on. “That’s just how the cookie crumbles,” he laughed more. The biscotti breaks apart. That is the Meloni family’s way of doing things. He frequently receives the short end of the stick.
Meloni then talked about his pet dog, Scotty, and his unique nature. He compared the dog to “a bassist from a 70s hair metal band” and joked that Scotty looked like he had black eyeliner on. Meloni said that he swore he wore black eyeliner. He agreed that he had never seen Scotty put on cosmetics, but he laughed, saying that anyone looking at a picture of the dog would think otherwise. He laughed and said, ” If he sent you a photo, you had to go, oh my, he’s wearing makeup.
Meloni highlighted the pet’s unique qualities with these funny stories and explained his love and lifestyle. His thoughts on Scotty are less daring and exciting in his character than the intense characters he portrays on television. By praising his oddities, Maloney showed how happy Scotty was about his family life and public image.
As Maloney finished season five of “Organized Crime,” he took a break to work on Temptations cat food’s new limited-edition podcast series, “Catch a Cat Burglar: Purry Duty.” Meloni was involved in writing episode two of the show. He expressed interest in the novel idea of promoting the product through a podcast. He enjoyed playing the dependable narrator in the series and enjoyed its faux seriousness. The story of a crafty cat unraveled like a ball of yarn, and this part kept the audience fascinated.
