Cesar Millan, best known as the Dog Whisperer, has some good news to howl about (in a calm, assertive way): today he took the oath to officially become a US citizen. The star of the Emmy-nominated National Geographic Channel series and the best-selling author passed his citizenship test earlier this year and today was sworn in as a citizen in Montebello, California, just north of Los Angeles. Cesar was joined by his wife Ilusion and two sons, Andre and Calvin, who attended to cheer him on (they are already U.S. citizens).
“This is the ultimate culmination of living the American dream,” said Millan. “Becoming an U.S. citizen has been a goal of mine since I first came to this great country. I have much to thank this country for, and all of the success it has afforded me and my family, and now I am proud to be a citizen.”
In his book, Cesar’s Way, Millan chronicles the development of his unique talent with dogs on his grandfather’s farm in Mexico, where he learned at a very young age the importance of respecting Mother Nature. He has been a legal resident of the United States since 2000.
The canine expert, who has been called “Dr. Phil for dogs,” is currently working on his fourth book, to be released this fall, and starts filming this week for the sixth season of Dog Whisperer on the National Geographic Channel.
