Evans adopted him back in 2017, and, if his Instagram account is anything to go by, he's obsessed with him.
"He's up for anything," Evans told People in 2017. "Dogs, they're such great animals. I really can't say enough about dogs. I'm a dog lunatic. He sleeps on my pillow. You wake up face-to-face."

My dogs are there to teach me to take a break. They're there to remind me that there's more to life than work. That's why I often include them in stories like #TheLuckyOne.
