Chris Evans offers update after dog Dodger has hip replacement
The Avenger learned to sew to fix his pet’s favourite toy.
Chris Evans has revealed his dog Dodger is recovering from a hip replacement.
The Captain America star, 39, said he used the opportunity to give his pet’s favourite toy some emergency surgery of its own.
Sharing a photo of the dog’s large scar on Instagram, he wrote: “Hip replacement #2 completed! Such a trooper. He’ll be back in action in no time.
“Yesterday while he was in surgery, so was his favorite lion (which had been on IR since November after a nasty tear).
“I’ve never sewn anything before but I’m pretty proud of my hack job.
“They’re both happily recovering in each other’s company.”
Dodger is a major feature of Evans’ Instagram feed and he previously said he only joined the social media platform so he could share pictures of his dog.
Last week, he shared a photo of Dodger resting on his hand, and wrote: “Sometimes he uses my hand as a headrest knowing full well that I’ll stay there until he’s ready to get up. #sucker.”
Evans revealed Dodger was going under the knife last July, when he wrote: “Surgery day! Just dropped him off. Picking him up tomorrow morning.
“If today is any indication, I’m going to be a VERY nervous parent.”
Evans adopted rescue dog Dodger while he was filming the 2017 movie Gifted.
