The casting news comes hours after Bay announced Freya, an epileptic six-year-old Staffordshire bull terrier that was last month dubbed Britain’s loneliest dog, will also appear in the fifth Transformers movie when it hits theatres in June, 2017.

Found this in the news in England. So we called and gave the Loneliest Dog a role in Transformers. We are going to make her famous. Freya, has Epilepsy and lived in a shelter her whole life. We are going to find her a home. If not she's coming to my house! #transformers #autobots #aspa

The dog spent all its six years at an animal rescue centre in England, being turned down 18000 times for adoption and a recent article about the sad pooch in a British tabloid gave animal lover Bay the idea.
