Just When You Thought Patrick Stewart Couldnt Get Any Cooler, He Fosters a Homeless Dog

Sir Patrick Stewart is trading mutants for rescue mutts.

The X-Menstar recently opened his home to an adorable pit bull named Ginger, and Instagrams of these two getting to know each other are out-of-this-world adorable.

In a video of Stewart greeting the pup a his door, the actor stroked the dogs head lovingly and thanked her for a nice, sloppy kiss on the mouth.

Thanks to @ASPCA and @WagsandWalks, @madameozell and I are finally fostering our 1st pitbull! Meet Ginger. Im in LOVE. #AdoptDontShop #pitbullsofinstagram #pitbulls, said the caption for the video posted on Thursday.

These two definitely didnt waste anytime with small talk over Earl Grey tea, as you might expect: Hours later, Stewart shared a video of the dog at the swimming lesson that wasnt, in which Ginger stood by a pool and licked the actors bald head.

Our foster pibble Ginger is perfect afternoon company, he wrote of the pup, whom he said was so tempted to jump in the pool.

What weve learned from the past 24 hours of this paw-someness is that if swimming isnt Gingers thing, taking a load off on laps definitely is.

So what we have here is a 60 lb. lap dog, said Stewarts wife, Sunny Ozell, who shared a video of the pup rendering her human completely immobile while sitting on her lap.

Ozell shared that it was their neighbors dog who inspired them to take in this sweet girl.

Weve loved pit bulls since meeting our neighbor pibble Sadie, and fostering is a great way for us to love this beautiful breed, she wrote on Instagram. Thank you @aspca and @wagsandwalks for connecting us with this gorgeous being. Were already in love.
