3 minutes of Captain America petting puppies on National Dog Day is exactly what you need today
  • Chris Evans, the "Captain America" heartthrob and noted dog dad, is the face of Jinx pet food.
  • In a clip released for National Dog Day, he visits a New York animal shelter to donate treats.

Chris Evans continues to embody his wholesome "Captain America" persona in his adorable brand partnership with Jinx pet food.

In a clip released just in time for National Dog Day, Evans can again be found oozing charm and relatability as he gushes over a group of disabled and senior shelter dogs from New York's Animal Haven.

The three-minute and thirty-seven-second clip features the Marvel Cinematic Universe star patiently offering a gentle pat to a visibly anxious rescue called Kira, enthusiastically greeting a coonhound named Humphrey, and cooing over a parvovirus survivor pup called Pipa that had been rescued from Antigua.

The pet food brand partnered with the superstar actor last summer and also announced an initiative to donate a year's worth of food for each pet adopted from Animal Haven in August.

Representatives for Evans, Jinx, and Animal Haven did not immediately respond to Insider's requests for comment.

Evans' and his pup, Dodger's, partnership with the small, natural pet food brand is one of only several brand endorsements the superhero actor has been featured in over the years (such as smartphone brand TECNO and Filipino telecommunications giant Smart Communications). Still, it's far and away the most adorable — and it's precisely the kind of deal you'd expect from the guy whose biggest claim to fame is being the face of morality and American patriotism for a generation.
