Betsy Arakawa was "super protective" over Gene Hackman and their couple's three dogs, according to the late couple's dog trainer and boarder, Joey Padilla. Padilla worked with Hackman and Arakawa for a decade and last spoke to Betsy about a month ago.

A third dog that was found dead last week with the couple was an Australian Kelpie mix named Zinna, the boarder said.

The two surviving dogs belonging to actor Gene Hackman and his wife Betsy Arakawa "are safe and adjusting" after the couple was mysteriously found dead.
