Kevin Bacon and his wife, The Closer star Kyra Sedgwick decided to get rid of a dog they adopted years ago because one of its eyes popped out of its socket.

The screen stars were initially intrigued by the four-legged addition to their family, but they quickly decided to give it another home after a bizarre incident occurred while Kevin was walking the pooch.

Sedgwick says, “We didn’t keep the dog for very long, but he was a cute dog. He was a rescue… It was one of these little dogs. It was like a Lhasa Apso, or something, with these eyes that bulge out.

“Sweet dog, but one day a big dog barked at it and one of its eyes actually popped out. And Kevin said, ‘Oh my God! The dog’s eye popped out! Kyra! The dog’s eye popped out!’ He gets scared with a lot about things like that. They gross him out.

“It was funny. I pushed it back in and it was fine. I don’t know what you’re supposed to do… (The dog) just looked confused. So I popped it back in. All was well.

“We found a good home for the dog though, ’cause Kev’s not really a small dog kinda guy. More big dog. So we have another dog now. He’s really great, he’s another rescue.”
