In September 2019, Witherspoon told Ellen DeGeneres "I get distracted a lot because I see cute dogs, and I'm like, 'Oh, I've got to pull over!' I will literally pull over and get out of the car if it's a bulldog. Only a bulldog. I'm very preferential to certain breeds ... if it's being walked by somebody and it's really cute. There's probably a lot of pictures in the world of me on the side of the road with dogs." You can follow Reese Witherspoon's account @officialreesetiktok.
