John Travolta and his son adopted the puppy from the Oscars' Betty White tribute

The Academy Awards paid tribute to the late actress and animal rights activist Betty White on Sunday by urging people to adopt pets from the nonprofit Paw Works. After Jamie Lee Curtis took the stage with a puppy to announce the initiative, a famous friend took part in a big way.

Actor John Travolta and his son Ben adopted a dog. But not just any dog — they chose MacNCheese, the dog Curtis brought on stage. 

"A MAGICAL ending to the story from last night," Curtis wrote on Instagram, sharing a photo of Travolta and and his son. "At the Oscars I reconnected with my friend, John Travolta. We starred together in the movie PERFECT back in 1984."
