Doris Day's animal activism, in 7 adorable photos
Doris Day made a historic career in film and music with her sunny personality and bold contralto voice. But Day, who died Monday morning at 97, retreated from Hollywood in the late 1960's and moved into animal welfare activism, founding her Doris Day Animal Foundation in 1978. Get a glimpse of her puppy love in six photos that adhere to her squeaky clean image — and one that doesn't.
