Kaley Cuoco quips she would have 'sent her daughter back' if she wasn't an animal lover

Kaley Cuoco has joked that she would have "sent her daughter back" if she didn't like animals.

The 38-year-old actress lives in LA with her Tom Pelphrey on a ranch with horses, donkeys, chickens, goats, cows and pigs and was relieved when their daughter Matilda, 14 months, seemed to also share her love for animals when her first word was "dog".

Kaley told People: "Yeah, I said, 'Matilda, if you don't like animals, I'm sending you back. This is what's going to happen. Luckily, one of her first words was dog, so it was mama, dada, dog, so that was a really good sign."

The former 'Big Bang Theory' star - who offers offers affordable, eco-friendly, and ethically sourced products for dogs through her company Oh Norman! - added that "anything with four legs" is welcome at her home.

She said: "Obviously I rescue dogs, and everyone knows that about me, but I’ve really expanded to farm animals and even Thoroughbreds and horses off the track. Really anything with four legs is welcome here. We don’t turn anyone away. It’s become this magical place.."
