Ryan Reynolds Fell In Love With Baxter

Sexiest man alive, Ryan Reynolds also has a big heart.

He had gone to an animal shelter in Houston last year to get a new dog for his friend Steve who is paralyzed. Steve’s dog had recently died and Ryan wanted to get him another one.

While at the shelter Ryan found a nice chocolate lab for Steve, however he also saw Baxter.

Ryan explains how Baxter became a part of the family:

“I saw this big, dumb-looking retriever staring up at me. I whispered to him, ‘Hey, let’s get the hell out of here.’ And he jumped up, like he spoke English fluently. He came with me, he jumped in the car, and we’ve been best buddies ever since.”

Awwww!
