Mickey Rourke claims his late Chihuahua, Beau Jack, saved his life a few years ago by convincing him not to take his own life.
Contactmusic.com reports that Rourke recalls a time when he locked himself and his dog in a closet to commit suicide, but that he could not go through with it because of his little pooch.
“I was doing some crazy s**t, but I saw a look in Beau Jack’s eyes, and I put the s**t down. That dog saved my life,” Rourke is quoted as saying by the entertainment site.
Little Beau Jack died about six years ago.
