Everyone can agree that one of the best parts about the new “Superman” movie is Krypto, Superman’s foster dog.
And it’s probably no coincidence that since the movie came out, there’s been an increase in Google searches about pet adoption. The phrase “adopt a dog near me” has increased by 513%.
There was also a 163% increase in, quote, “rescue dog adoption near me”. And a 299% increase in “adopt a Schnauzer”. Krypto is a mutt, but he shares some resemblance to a Schnauzer.
He was created with CGI, but was modeled after director James Gunn’s own rescue dog Ozu.
Gunn heard about the surge in dog adoption interest and said, quote, “This film has been a barrage of blessings for me: this one may be the greatest. Ozu has no idea any of this is happening but, if he did, he’d be proud.”
