Atlanta's newest star is Coco in 'Prey'

A homeless dog who once languished at an Atlanta shelter is making a name for herself in Hollywood. Coco, of undetermined breeding and age, is the breakout star of Prey, the latest installment in the Predator franchise now streaming on Hulu to high ratings.

In a viral Facebook post, Fulton County Animal Services wrote, “She was originally meant to have a small role. However, her popularity among test audiences encouraged director Dan Trachtenberg to include more of Coco in the film.” They added, “We are SO delighted that Coco found the life she has, and is now shining a light on the potential of shelter dogs and what they are capable of when given a chance.” Details: thedenverchannel.com
