We'd be lying if we said we hadn't heard this before, but this time it comes with the weight of a super nice celebrity's truth: rescue dogs are the best kind of dogs!

Honestly, it's as if they know they've been rescued — and are amazingly gracious for it!

That's how Carrie Underwood feels about her pooch, responding to what kind of dog it is with the following:

This is certainly an incredible rescue story!

Xena, a Staffordshire terrier mix, was nearly starved to death, weighing only 4-pounds when she was brought into a Georgia animal shelter.

That's how she got her name, Xena the Warrior, because she fought for her life.

After she was healthy enough to be adopted, Jonny Hickey, an 8-year-old autistic boy was given Xena after his mom adopted her.

Naki'o is a cute rescue dog who is one lucky guy.

As a puppy, he lost all four of his paws and the tip of his tail to frostbite.

He was found frozen in a puddle in the basement of an abandoned home.

Luckily, Naki'o's owner got him four prosthetic paws!

Now he can run around and play just like other dogs.

He doesn't need a special chair to wheel around in or anything, he's just like any other normal dog now and it's ahmayzing!

Way to go, science and medicine! Save those doggies!

Check out the video (above) to see Naki'o the bionic dog in action.

They're always on the road anyway, why not bring a furry companion along the way to keep them both company!

Here's what the founder said:

Lena Dunham fulfilled a childhood dream of hers when she adopted a cute lil shelter dog.

She got the pooch from BARC, a Brooklyn area shelter, only hours before she walked the red carpet at the Girls season 2 premiere in New York City.

Apparently, her dog, Lamby, was having troubling adjusting to his new home, so he had to be put on Prozac.
