Chris Evans and his dog Dodger share a special bond that fans can’t get enough of. Whether they’re traveling, hiking, or just hanging out, these two are practically inseparable.
Here’s what we know about Dodger’s age and breed.
How old is Chris Evans’ dog Dodger?
Dodger is 8 years old. Chris Evans adopted him in April 2017 while filming Gifted. It was an unexpected but life-changing moment when he met his four-legged friend at a shelter.
The name Dodger was inspired by the Artful Dodger from Disney’s Oliver & Company (1988). In an interview with People, Evans recalled the moment he met Dodger, saying, “One of the last scenes we were filming was in a pound, a kennel.
I foolishly walked in, and I thought, ‘Are these actor dogs, or are these real up-for-adoption dogs?’
And sure enough, they were, so I was walking up and down the aisles and saw this one dude, and he didn’t belong there. I snagged him, and he’s such a good dog.”
What breed is Chris Evans’ dog Dodger?
Dodger is a boxer mix, a breed known for its playful energy, loyalty, and companionship. These dogs typically live between 9 and 14 years.
While Dodger is as sweet as they come, Evans has admitted that his pup can get a little jealous. “If I’m giving another dog love, he does get a little jealous,” he shared.
But jealousy aside, Dodger is quite the celebrity himself. He and Evans have even partnered with the pet food brand Jinx to promote healthy meals for dogs.
Chris Evans’ love for dogs isn’t new—it started long before Dodger came into his life. He previously had a Bulldog named East, who sadly passed away in 2013 at the age of 12.
Dodger may have been a surprise addition to Evans’ life, but their friendship is one for the ages.
