Hilary Swank was spotted Oct 18th, on the set of her new movie, “P.S. I Love You” and Karoo, her Jack Russell/Corgi mix with her. Here are some interesting factoids about Hilary’s, Karoo:

- Karoo was a stray dog that Hilary fell in love with while shooting Red Dust in Graaff-Reinet in the Eastern Cape (desert town of Karoo - hence the dog’s name - ‘Karoo’ is South African for countryside).
-Incredibly taken by the dog Hilary made arrangements to bring Karoo back to American with her. “I found Karoo while on location with Red Dust - totally flea-ridden, starving, ticks in ears, the whole thing! So I brought her back with me. When I find a stray animal, it doesn’t matter where it comes from if it means saving its life. Karoo is a good girl and she’s become so famous!”

These days, Hilary is very rarely seen without Karoo. She takes her best friend to fashion shoots and film sets. Karoo even has a scene in “Million Dollar Baby”. She can be seen sitting in a car, held by Clint Eastwood’s daughter at the gas station.
