Mischa Barton | Ziggy and Charlie

Dogs serve as our inspiration, especially when we are down. For Mischa Barton, Ziggy and Charlie also keep her grounded. By having to wake up and walk her dogs early in the morning, Barton can keep herself sane and follow a routine at the same time. Photographers even snapped the actress walking her Pomeranian-Shitzu dog, Ziggy, and the mixed breed rescued pup, Charlie.

We are also sure that these two lovable animals had kept Barton company when in 2020, she faced foreclosure for failing to pay five months’ worth of mortgage towards her $8 million Los Angeles home. The house boasts of eight bedrooms, which is big enough for the family and the dogs. We are sure that whatever financial difficulties might come Barton’s way, so long as she keeps fighting, with her dogs providing her inspiration, she would be alright.
