Chris Evans Is Adorably Embarrassed That He Named His Dog After A Cartoon

“It’s a far more embarrassing story that I now get to explain every time someone asks me,” he began. “There’s a movie called Oliver & Company, it’s a Disney movie, an animated movie, that I grew up watching.”

“When I first saw him in the shelter, I just said, ‘Oh man, that looks like Dodger from Oliver & Company,” he continued. “After I decided I was taking him home with me, I went through the process of thinking of other names, and I just couldn’t get off Dodger. So, I said, ‘I’m not going to overthink this one.'”

Chris also spoke about the decision to get Dodger’s name tattooed on his chest pretty shortly after getting the pup. “That’s probably one of the purest relationships I have. It didn’t take much convincing. I’ll never regret that tattoo. I’ve regretted a few in my life, but never that one.”
