The Bold and the Beautiful’s Thomas Forrester might be totally obsessed with Hope Logan on the soap, but when it comes to his portrayer Matthew Atkinson, he’s got a different kind of obsession. The handsome actor recently opened up to Soap Opera Digest about his life with his pup, Maisel. Here’s what he has to say.
The Bold and the Beautiful News: Matthew Atkinson Opens Up ABout The Most Important Female In His Life
Speaking to the publication in a new interview, Matthew admits that it was love at first sight when he first met Maisel, who happens to be his girlfriend’s dog. When asked about her disposition (the dog, not the girlfriend), Matthew said, “I immediately fell in love with that dog, and I never really thought about Dalmatians because you don’t really see them that often, but she is the sweetest dog in the world. She is so smart, and she’s kind of cunning. She knows what she’s doing. She gets what she wants. She’s too pretty for her own good. She also has way too much energy for her own good, but she is so incredibly smart.”
Matthew also said that he grew up with pets. He explained, “I’ve always been a dog guy. I had a dog when I was a kid, a beagle named Molly, and my mom had a couple of cats so I grew up with animals. We had some fish, too, but I’ve always been a dog guy. I love dogs. I love being around them. I love a dog’s energy, no matter how big or small, but I tend to gravitate toward the big ones because I love to wrestle around.”

What’s more, Matthew also said that he loves to spoil Maisel. “She is so food-driven that any food is spoiling her. She will eat anything and be the happiest dog in the world. Sometimes, you have to train certain dogs and each dog has their own things that they want or desire but with Maisel, if you have some chicken, she will just follow you around all day long,” he added.
