Today is #NationalPetDay and actor Chris Evans took to Twitter to share the exact moment he met the rescue dog he went on to adopt. Have a look:
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
