It’s super cool!
This is great news, but some commenters want to remind prospective dog owners to do research and be sure they are able to take on the responsibility of owning a pup. It’s a commitment for the lifetime of the dog, after all.
Nice if it sticks, though generally these surges in pet adoptions lead to pet returns, (101 Dalmatians, Easter rabbits.)

These guys (and cats) need families, but make sure you are ready for them and not getting an animal on a whim.
i think he readied them more than any other movie on the possibility of getting an unruly dog

Exactly adopting a pet is a big commitment, not just a trend. It’s important to be fully ready for the responsibility.

Yeah, let's hope people remember it's a lifetime commitment.

Not our lives, theirs. Make it special.
Exactly pets rely on us for their whole lives. We owe them the best care and love we can give.

Your heart may be big, but dogs require a lot of time, care, and space in your life and your schedule. You owe it to your pooch to be able to provide everything they need.
Posters are glad the DC film has people considering adoption now and well into the future. Many shared pics of their dogs.
Best part is that movies are timeless, meaning as new generations continue to go back & watch Superman they will continue to be inspired to adopt a dog, forever.💙 pic.twitter.com/9zsj504oDK

The amount of cheering for the dog in the theater was huge. The dog stole the show!

I lost my dog in December. Krypto hugging Supes brought tears to my eyes. We need another dog and soon.

In the comics, Supergirl has a pet cat named Streaky. Maybe a future film featuring that super feline will spur audiences to look into adopting cats like Krypto is currently doing for dogs.
