The Love Between Chris Evans and His Rescue Dog, Dodger, Is Almost Too Pure

There is nothing quite like the bond between a man and his dog. I mean, they were dubbed ’man’s best friend’ for a reason. Chris Evans, aka Captain America himself has talked at length about his love for Dodger, his own Boxer-mix. Chris and Dodger met at a shelter in 2017 while Chris was filming Gifted, and ever since, they’ve been almost inseparable.

On National Pet Day in 2018, Chris shared the footage he took the day he first met Dodger. Unsurprisingly, it will melt your freaking heart. Chris explained, “This is the moment we met. 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. Rescue dogs are the best dogs!!”

The tentative excitement, the barely-controlled tail wag, it’s impossible not to fall in love with the adorable pup. And immediately, Chris did exactly that. From the cold shelter floor to a life of unconditional love, Dodger is one lucky dog. Though Evans has endless content he could be sharing on social media, his Instagram account is ruffly 50% pictures of his best friend, and with that face, who can blame him?

Chris and Dodger play together, nap together, and pose for the cutest selfies we’ve ever seen. Chris dotes over Dodger like he was his own child, as dog-lovers tend to do. In fact, Chris loves his rescue pup so dang much that he even got a tattoo in that good boy’s honor.
Chris and Dodger are a ridiculously wholesome pair, and we can only hope that one day we all find someone who looks at us the way Chris and Dodger look at each other.
Happy Valentine’s Day from this pair of dysfunctional codependents. pic.twitter.com/8rzRkLKmFr
