If you didn’t know, it’s National Pet Day. And also if you didn’t know, Chris Evans, a.k.a. Captain America, is a devoted dog dad to a very good pupper named Dodger. And Cap turned our hearts into sappy piles of goo when he shared a video of him reuniting with his pup after ten weeks away filming. Well, Evans is back at it again, posting a video of the first moment he met Dodger at the pet rescue and we.are.dead.
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!! #NationalPetDay pic.twitter.com/XjWxPWGDPu

Look at his tail wagging as soon as Evans approaches! He’s clearly a good and sweet doggo and so ready be someone’s best friend! And luckily, he found a forever home and buddy in Evans—the actor says he knew right away he wanted to rescue Dodger. If you’ve ever adopted a pet, you understand that feeling. When you meet your new pet, you can just tell when it’s meant to be.
You should also be aware Dodger has a stuffed lion that sings, and sometimes he howls along with it:
This is Dodger’s stuffed lion. He loves it. He brings it everywhere. If you press it’s paw, it sings. Today, Dodger decided to join in. pic.twitter.com/CuH53VNVtF
