“That dog has saved my life more times than I can count,” said Koerner, 66, who is single, suffers from bouts of depression, and bonded with Daisy the day he rescued her as a puppy.

The actor has since rehomed the two adult dogs and their three puppies, the statement said, adding “the liability of keeping them was simply too great.”

“It just makes things more palatable to me to think of the duality of life through the eyes of a little puppy dog or ladybug.”

Max, who plays the other dog Bandit, is Indy’s puppy pal and belongs to Leonberg’s parents.

The movie star’s mask of artifice briefly vanishes, and all that’s left is a puppy dog look of yearning, a sad acceptance that it’s too late to change certain things.
