The story of Cesar Millan is often seen as a typical rags to riches tale, one about a young man breaking away from a simple life on a Mexican farm and crossing the border in pursuit of the American dream.
In 1990, at age 21, he came illegally from Mexico to the United States. He first got involved in California as a dog hairdresser, vet assistant and dog groomer, so he got in touch with movie stars and eventually Cesar Millan was only the dog expert in Hollywood.
