Great Scott! Michael J. Fox poses with new pup
Michael J. Fox has a new furry friend, and fans are saying the pup resembles the dog from the Back to the Future movies.
The 61-year-old icon shared a post on Instagram featuring himself snuggled up with his adorable new dog, whom he named Blue.
The star captioned his post, “Hey Blue, welcome to your new home!”
Fans of Fox flocked to the comments to share their thoughts on the new pup as well as comparing the dog’s looks to Dr Emmet Brown’s dog in the Back to the Future trilogy.
The dog featured in the trilogy, the infamous Einstein, was a similar breed to Fox’s new furry friend.
People wrote comments such as, “Einstein came back using the time machine,” and “Aww he looks like a baby Einstein!”
The dog in the films was a fully grown sheepdog that went on some serious adventures with Fox’s character, Marty McFly and Doc Brown, played by Christopher Lloyd.
Several A-list stars also took to the comments on Fox’s post.
“Oh my gosh!! So cute 🥰,” wrote Julianne Moore.
Jennifer Grey from Dirty Dancing expressed her thoughts through a series of emojis, commenting, “💞🐶👅🐶👅💞,"
Fox is known to be a dog lover, having mourned the loss of his previous dog, Gus, in April of 2021.
When he announced the loss of Gus on Instagram, he captioned his post, “Gus - great dog and loyal friend, we'll miss you.”
The actor has mentioned several times how much of a “wonder dog” Gus had been over the years.
