Chris Evans Celebrates Weekend With His Dog

In a weekend celebration, Evans posted Dodger's picture saying, "Happy Friday," although the pup didn't look enthused. The Help actress Octavia Spencer, noticed this too and highlighted it in the comment section saying, "Clearly he misses me," and asking, "Are you back?"

Another Instagram user said, "Why is Dodger always a mood? I LOVE HIM 🖤"

When Evans met Dodger at the shelter, he thought he was hired as an actor but soon discovered otherwise.

Evans also revealed that his inspiration for the name Dodger came from the classic 1988 Disney movie Oliver and Company. Essentially, the Boxer-mix shares a name with Billy Joel's voice character, who drew inspiration from Charles Dickens's Artful Dodger character from the classic book Oliver Twist. Once Evans entered the shelter to film the last scene, it was love at first sight with the pet, and they sealed their relationship with a big tattoo impression of Dodger's name on his left chest.

Last year, Evans announced that Dodger underwent a hip replacement surgery and was recovering nicely. He added that the Boxer-mix's favorite stuffed toy, a Lion, also underwent surgery under his untrained hands in comic relief.

In his words,
