Actress Cameron Diaz showed some animal love by rescuing an injured German Shepherd she found in her neighborhood and taking it back to her home.

Diaz’s rep told People.com, “Cameron and a friend were involved in returning an injured dog to its owner.

A source added:

Diaz brought the dog in her house and gave it some food and water. Her assistant posted a ‘found German shepherd’ sign and (the dog’s owner) - Diaz’s neighbor who was driving around the area, came across it.

But the star’s sweet, caring nature didn’t stop there. She also made time to visit the vet where the dog was being treated.
