One of the more touching stories to come out of this year's Academy Awards, which has been steeped in face slapping controversy, would have to be how a small puppy named Mac n Cheese found a home.

During her tribute to the late, great Betty White, actress Jamie Lee Curtis brought an adorable puppy on stage to urge viewers to adopt shelter pets, a cause that was near and dear to Betty's heart.

"She was not only a Golden Girl, she was a legend who brightened every room she walked in and brought a smile to the faces of all who watched her on the screen. And day in and day out for almost a century, she was a woman who cared so much for not just her two-legged friends but for animals just like this. The "greatest gift" the audience could give White is to "open your heart and your home and adopt a rescue dog just like Mac-N-Cheese from Paw Works. So thank you, Betty, thank you for being a friend to us all."

One celebrity in the audience did just that.

John Travola took to Instagram on Monday to announce that his son Ben adopted Mac n Cheese. In the post, Travola is all smiles as he stands with his son who is holding the newest member of their family.

"Ben adopted this dog from last night's Oscar tribute to Betty White. Thank you [Curtis] & [Paw Works]."

Curtis was elated to hear the news, adding to the Instagram post,

"I had already left the Dolby theater last night after honoring Betty White and was on my way home when someone texted me a photo of John holding little Mac N Cheese in the green room before his presentation of the best actor Oscar. I thought it was so beautiful to see him with her and then today I found out that he and his son, Ben have adopted beautiful little mac & cheese and are taking her home today."

What a happy ending to an otherwise unorthodox Oscars.
