The ad seeks to raise awareness about the adoption of dogs found in shelters.
“Krypto hits the screens in Superman this summer”Gunn wrote. “Krypto was inspired by our dog Ozu, who we adopted shortly after I started writing Superman. Ozu, who came from a backyard hoarding situation with 60 other dogs and never met humans, was problematic to say the least. He came in immediately and destroyed our house, our shoes, our furniture; It even ate my laptop. It was a long time before he let us touch him. I remember thinking, ‘God, how difficult would life be if Ozu had superpowers?’ And so Krypto came into the script and changed the shape of the story as Ozu changed my life. What better time to debut the not-so-good boy Krypto than #AdoptAShelterDog month. By the way, Ozu today is, quite often, a very good boy.”
