The mutt belongs to none other thanGlen Powell, Hollywoods hottie with a heart of gold.
When Powell was filmingTwistersin Oklahoma last summer, he was struck by the urge to become a dad.
Well, a dog dad.

Powell knew that he would go to any lengths necessary to have him.
I was very desperate to get Brisket.
I made this video, I called anyone that this adoption place followed on Instagram.
Brisket wears his own bow tie.
That feeling of urgency hasnt left Powelland nearly influenced Briskets name.
But Im glad I didnt name him Enid.
Brisket is a very fitting name for him.

Brisket has been growing a steady fan base of his own over the last year that Powells had him.
(He is officially verified onInstagram, Powells publicist toldVoguevia email.)
To say that Brisket became an overnight sensation would be an understatement.
From there, he catapulted into stardom.
He landed his first solo cover (though hes already guest starred in a couple).
Below, Glen Powell answersVogues Dogue questionnaire.
Brisket wears his own bow tie.
Vogue: What is Briskets best quality?
Glen Powell:Briskets best quality, I would say, is his ability to snuggle.
He is just built for snuggles.
Who would voice your dog in a movie?
Im going to go Timothee Chalamet.
Timothees already said yes.
Do you use a voice to talk to Brisket?
[In a sing-song voice] Buh-risket!
[Higher pitched] Brisket!
I dunno how youd qualify that voice.
What is your dogs weirdest nickname, and how did you come up with it?
I call him Brisky, but a lot of people call him Brisky Business.
Brisket really is the funniest dog.
I feel like he has so many parents.
All my friends want to babysit him, and everybody is always sending me pictures hanging with him.
They do have a lot of nicknames.
I should start writing down all the nicknames that people have for him.
Where is one place you wish you could take your dog?
I was getting constant updates and we were FaceTiming about how much love he was getting.
My nephew, Witt, is just obsessed with him, so they became best friends.
He wasnt short on love while I was in South Africa.
I needed the love a lot more than Brisket did, thats for sure.
Its really fun having him on that adventure.
He pranceshe doesnt walk… Theres something very elegant about him.
What is the strangest place youve ever taken him?
I took him on the Universal Studios Back Lot tour.
I got a private tram tour for the [Twisters] cast.
I dont think Ive ever felt like such a bad dog dad than bringing Brisket on that tour.
I felt very, very bad.
I should have had the foresight to see that coming.
If you could tell Brisket one thing, what would it be?
Look, Im a biased dog dad.
For now, thats it.
Hes the most well-behaved dog, and people are obsessed with him.
I think Brisket and I would actually be very good friends.
Wed be even better pals if we could communicate.
He doesnt really bark or anything.
Its not like he feels the need to express himself.
I feel like we have that connection.
I think weve got a good thing going.
What is the most human thing your dog does?
Brisket loves a bath and a shower.
Most of the time its a team sport in there.
He cant use a loofah.
I just want to be very clear about that.
He doesnt know how to use a loofah, but hes good with everything else.
If I got Brisket to figure out how to loofah me, I mean, that would be something.
Brisket bumps paws with Powell at Carneys Restaurant in West Hollywood, near the actors lodging for the LATwisterspremiere.
What is the most dog thing your dog does?
He loves a yard, he loves grass.
He pranceshe doesnt walk.
Hes not a manly dog.
Theres something very elegant about him.
The way he jumps into grass and through grass takes it to a whole other level.
I wouldnt say its doglike; its more gazelle.
What is his full name?
Does he have a middle name?
I refused to name him until I found the name that really fit.
A lot of people were trying to get me to settle on other names.
I think his first day on theTwistersset was on July 4.
Its a Texas Longhorn beer bottle that one of my buddies got me very early on.
Hes had a lot of toys come and go, but that toy has stuck around.
If I have work coming up, Brisket and I tend to share meals.
Hes going to be a totally ripped little pup.
We have gone on workouts.
He does like to run, but theres a point at which he literally stops running.
Theres no negotiationhe just sits down and is like, Yeah, thats it.
What would his catchphrase be?
I think he would be like, Oh, friend!
Hes just super social.
Hed be like, Hey, whats your name?
Hey, Im Brisket, nice to meet you.
Thats probably the vibe.
When he sees kids, he gets super excited.
So if hes off leash, thats a real problem, hell run after kids.
and run, and hell chase you.
What would Brisket say is your worst habit?
Sometimes I hug a pillow when I sleep.
I think Brisket gets a little offended by that.
