Hint: its a barbecue staple.

Powell said he was scrolling through social media one day when he came across the perfect pup.

He sent the Los Angeles-based rescue a heartbreakingly depressing video of himself explaining why he needed this dog.

Powell took a weekend off from filming to pick up the small white-and-tan pup.

Despite being an Oklahoma boy, Powell gave the dog a decidedly Texas name.

“He’s really an Oklahoma boy at the end of the day.”

“I didn’t eat a lot of barbecue here,” he said.

“I ate a lot of good steak, though.”
