Eighteen years ago, Betsy Arakawa, wife of Gene Hackman, reached out to Dr Sherry Gaber, a renowned animal chiropractor known for restoring mobility in four-legged patients. In 2006, Arakawa sought a consultation at Gaber's Santa Fe clinic for one of the couple's rescued dogs, per reports from Hello Magazine.
The couple had a long history of adopting stray dogs, primarily German Shepherds, and caring for them at their New Mexico home. Given Dr Gaber's reputation, she became the primary veterinarian for all of Hackman's dogs, fostering a bond with the couple that lasted until their final days.
