It was love at first sight for Reynolds and his rescue dog, Baxter. "I saw this big, dumb-looking retriever staring up at me," he said of their 2009 meeting at a Houston animal shelter. "I whispered to him, 'Hey, let's get the hell out of here,' and he jumped up … He came with me, he jumped in the car, and we've been best buddies ever since."
