His doggo, named Dodger, came from Savannah, Georgia. Evans says he was shooting a movie with a scene at an animal shelter when he met little Dodger for the first time.

"I had no intention of rescuing a dog that day..."

"...but the minute I saw him I knew he was coming home with me," wrote Evans.

Sure enough, he adopted Dodger, and now this very good boy is the star of about half of Evans' Insta posts.

Evans included a plea to other prospective dog parents.

"There are so many loving animals at shelters who are in desperate need of a home," he wrote. "Visit a shelter and leave with a best friend."

It's just unbearably wholesome, isn't it?
