Animal Love: Wrestlers and the Pets in Their Lives

From a pet pig to cats, dogs, and rescue work, these wrestler-animal stories come from dated interviews and reports—not a verified roster of 15.

Professional wrestlers’ animal stories range from cats and dogs to a pet pig—and sometimes involve rescue work rather than personal pet ownership. The available sources document several examples, but they do not verify the 15-person roster implied by the original title. The names and counts below are therefore attributed to the specific interviews and reports that published them, not presented as a confirmed list of 15.

Wrestlers with cats, dogs, and a pet pig

Alexa Bliss and Buddy Murphy’s pet pig

WWE published a video in which Alexa Bliss and Buddy Murphy discuss their pet pig. The WWE page excerpt does not identify the pig by name or give a publication date, so neither detail can be established from that page.

Abyss and four cats

In a 2016 interview with Cageside Seats, wrestler Abyss said he had four cats: Tater, Kayfabe, Gimmick, and Abby. That is a snapshot from the interview, not confirmation of his current household.

More answers to “cat person or dog person?”

The same 2016 Cageside Seats feature asked wrestlers whether they were cat or dog people. Al Snow discussed cats; Matt Striker described fostering pit bulls and keeping two cats; Brian Myers named a dog Piper; and Savio Vega described dogs at home. These are historical interview accounts, not current pet inventories.

Jordynne Grace’s dogs and cats

Fightful reported on February 2, 2025, that Jordynne Grace spoke about six dogs and two cats. The report named the dogs Barry, Bernie, Burt, Booby, Blue, and Piper, and recounted how Booby joined the household. The count and names reflect what Grace discussed in that 2025 report; they should not be assumed to describe her household today.

Takumi Iroha’s rescue animals

In a 2026 interview, Takumi Iroha said she had four rescue dogs and six rescue cats and described them as her family. This is her account in that interview, rather than an independently verified count.

When the story is about animal rescue, not pet ownership

The Miz and Asuka with Rescue Dogs Rock

WWE reported that The Miz and Asuka visited Rescue Dogs Rock after winning the organization $100,000 through WWE’s Mixed Match Challenge. The coverage documents a rescue-related visit and award; it does not establish that the dogs at the organization were their pets. WWE also published a video page describing the pair telling the story of how Rescue Dogs Rock saved an abused dog named Sammy. That connection to Sammy’s rescue story does not establish Sammy as their pet.

Maria and Chihuahua Gemini at a 2008 benefit

A July 17, 2008 WWE article reported that Maria and her Chihuahua Gemini attended Animal Fair’s Paws for Style event, which benefited the Humane Society of New York. The account is a historical example of an animal-welfare event, not evidence about Maria’s current pet ownership.

What these stories can—and cannot—tell you

WWE’s International Dog Day gallery shows WWE Superstars with canine companions, but the returned page text does not enumerate the full cast. It can support the broad observation that WWE has featured wrestlers with dogs; it is not enough to identify a complete list of gallery participants.

  • Different animals appear in the accounts. The sources describe dogs, cats, and a pig, but the examples are not a verified roster of 15 wrestlers.
  • Counts are time-sensitive. The figures for Jordynne Grace and Takumi Iroha belong to dated reports or interviews and may change.
  • Rescue work is distinct from ownership. A visit to a rescue organization, a donation, or a story about a rescued dog does not by itself show that a wrestler adopted or owns that animal.
