Actor Matt Damon received an unusual gift from film-makers BOBBY and PETER FARRELLY - a stray mutt.

The Farrelly brothers, the co-writers and co-directors of Damon's upcoming film Stuck On You, gave the 32-year-old Good Will Hunting hunk a mutt they found on the street while shooting in Miami, Florida.

A source says Damon fell in love with the pooch, but because he's set to go to the Czech Republic in June (03) to film The Brothers Grimm he passed the parental rights on to his Stuck On You co-star Greg Kinnear.
