It may have been two weeks since National Bring Your Dog to Work Day, but let’s be honest, some moments are just too super to scroll past. And when it comes to this one, we’re gladly bending the “news is old” rule. Because, well… how often do you see Superman upstaged by his own dog?
Yes, we’re talking about that now-viral video of David Corenswet – the newest Man of Steel, and his ridiculously adorable sidekick, Ira, a 4-year-old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel.
Shared on Instagram with the caption “Making National Bring Your Dog to Work Day super special”, the video shows Ira visiting her superhero dad on set – cape and all. And frankly, we can’t stop rewatching.

Dressed in her own mini version of Superman’s suit, Ira struts onto set like she owns Metropolis or at least the snack table. And fans? Absolutely here for it.
But this wasn’t just a cute one-off. It’s clear that Corenswet is a bona fide dog lover. Between cuddling Ira, posing for photos, and even pausing to pet other dogs during breaks, he’s got the superpower of making every dog feel like the real star.
And here’s a fun tidbit that even die-hard comic fans might not know: In the upcoming Superman reboot, Krypto – the legendary Super Dog is inspired by none other than director James Gunn’s dog. So this new DC universe? Let’s just say it’s going to the dogs in the best possible way.
The clip, originally posted on June 20 to Corenswet’s 810K followers, is still making waves online. And while the moment may technically be “old news,” the joy it sparks is timeless.
So if you haven’t seen it yet (or just need a reason to smile today), go give it a watch. Whether you wear a cape or a collar, every hero deserves a little spotlight.
