Chris Evans Shares The Touching Story Of How He Met His Rescue Dog
Chris Evans has a soft spot for rescue dogs, and his story about meeting Dodger is as sweet as it gets. What started as a quick shelter visit turned into a life-changing moment, and the actor has been sharing that bond with fans ever since.
Dodger was still waiting in a kennel when Evans found him, and the connection was instant. From that first meeting to the viral video he later posted, the story shows exactly why adoption can mean so much to both a pet and the person who brings them home.
Now the internet is revisiting the moment that made Dodger part of Evans's life. Here's the full story.
Chris is widely known for playing the role of Captain America, but most people don't know that he's a hero outside of the production studio. He is Dodger's hero, and he has introduced him to his Twitter followers, tweeting about his sweet pup ever since.
Everyone can see that Dodger and Chris absolutely love and adore each other, and that Dodger is so grateful and happy that Chris is his new dad. Before Dodger was adopted, he was just another dog sitting in a kennel at an animal shelter, waiting for someone to come by and pick him.
That shelter visit changed everything.
Chris Evans was busy shooting a film when he went to the animal shelter looking for a best friend. He came upon Dodger, and it was love at first sight.
For National Pet Day, he decided to honor Dodger and their friendship by sharing a video on his social media about the day they met for the first time. That was the day both of their lives changed for the better.
And if you think Dodger is clingy, wait until you see the rescue dog who won’t let his adopter’s paws go.
This is the moment we met, Evans posted on Twitter. He was trying so hard to stay seated even though he desperately wanted to get out. I knew right away that he was coming home with me, so I took this video to always remember our first hello.
Chris's tweet went viral, garnering over 6 million views.
Evans says, 'Rescue dogs are the best dogs!!'
Before Dodger had Chris as his dad, this dog was rescued one hour pre-euthanasia.
