“I wanted her to grow up and be a big tank—be my protector,” Sydney Sweeney says of her dog, which she got as a teenager.
One weekend, she brought a 17-year-old Sydney with her. The teenager saw a female pitbull-mix puppy—no more than four weeks old—in a cage. Her stomach was an angry red mess of infected stitches. “She had been fixed at a really young age—like, two and a half, three weeks old. You’re not supposed to do it that young,” Sydney says. The staff told her they weren’t sure if she’d live. Sydney was heartbroken, and also under lax supervision: Her great-grandmother told her to go for it.
It became a goal of Sweeney’s, as she tirelessly worked towards moving from bit parts to leading roles: “My whole dream, since I got her in high school, was to be able to get her a backyard,” she says. Five years ago, the actor bought her own first home in Los Angeles. Tank took off running the moment she hit the grass. “Tank, I did this for you!” she shouted. “This is your backyard!” “That was the most fulfilling moment of my life,” she says.
